(3) K-3 Illustrated by David McPhail. This biography of the first woman to be elected to both houses of Congress, not to mention the first woman to run on a major-party presidential ticket, is unusually attentive. Included are idiosyncratic details (e.g., Margaret’s nickname for her grandfather), thematic bottom-of-the-page timelines ("The right to vote," "US Women in Congress"), and quiet, humanizing illustrations in pastel hues. Websites. Bib.
