(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leane Morin. Two cousins, forced to work in a Pakistani rug factory, meet the child-labor activist Iqbal Masih, and, after his murder, determine to follow his example. The didactic style and static illustrations make this older picture book more informative than involving. Appended material urges readers to find out more and take action. Reading list, websites.
