(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Anderson. Supportive community members work together to build a home for a struggling mother and daughter. The illustrations capture not only the beauty of the workers of different races united, but also the realities of what goes into building a house from the ground up. The story, based on the author's experience with the Women's Build program, is thought provoking without being didactic.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
