Focus on the women's suffrage movement

Gr 4--8--Each title covers a pivotal period of history and the marginalized group(s) affected. Whether it is the incredible performers and creators of the Harlem Renaissance or the Japanese-American families incarcerated during World War II, photos and images on every spread give a face to those involved and help bring their stories to life. Each book also requests that readers critically consider all the photos, the purpose of the photographer, and who is included in the images. Reflection questions are scattered throughout the books urging readers to consider how they would feel in the circumstances described. VERDICT An excellent purchase for those looking to offer previously overlooked perspectives on historical events.
