A Land of Big Dreams: Voices of Courage in America

32 pp. | Millbrook | March, 2011 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-6810-0 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Thirteen subjects--both the usual suspects (Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks) and some welcome additions (Sitting Bull, Emma Lazarus)--are profiled in this sampler of American politicians and activists who famously worked for equality and justice. A double-page spread is devoted to each figure. Waldman's stately yet humanizing commemorative portraits are more compelling than the rather skimpy text. Source notes.
