Ida B. Wells: Let the Truth Be Told

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bonnie Christensen. This picture book biography presents, for a younger audience, an understandable and compelling picture of a remarkable woman. Though the subject is exciting, Myers's tone is fairly sedate, but, set in red type, quotes from Wells and others add energy. Christensen's ink and watercolor pictures do a good job of capturing the time and place through clothing and other details. Timeline.
