(4) YA Women Changing the World series. Compelling connections between feminism and environmentalism are woven throughout these biographies of two young activists. The writing is undocumented and frequently sycophantic ("All her life, Marina had felt the suffering of her family and their trees"), but the admiration is justified by the integrity and dedication of the subjects. Scattered throughout are black-and-white photos of uneven quality. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these titles: Marina Silva and Winona LaDuke.]

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Roraback. A simple rhythmic text conveys the rituals and spiritual aspects of a traditional Seder along with the joy of one family's celebration. Detailed pastel-colored illustrations show an extended family gathered for Passover, with children of various ages taking part in the evening's activities. Although a page of explanation is appended, the book is best for children who already know something about the holiday.
