(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist. As a child in war-torn Rhodesia, the author wishes to go to school like her brothers. As an adult, she works hard to earn several degrees in America, afterward returning to Zimbabwe to make education possible for other girls. Illustrated with Gilchrist's emotive full-spread watercolors, this tale of passionate persistence reveals a different culture but a universal human-rights issue.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
