Hannah G. Solomon Dared to Make a Difference
When Hannah G. Solomon looked around Chicago, the city where she was born, she saw unfairness all around her. Many people were poor and living in terrible conditions. Immigrants from other countries struggled to survive in their new home. Hannah decided to help change that. When she grew up, she founded the National Council of Jewish Women--the first organization to unite Jewish women around the country--and fought to make life better for others, especially women and children, in Chicago and beyond.

Sofia Moore is a book illustrator and fine artist living in Las Vegas, Nevada. She finds her inspiration in listening to people's stories and in walking in the desert when it's not too hot. She is a tree lover, too.
This engaging, informative biography casts a well-deserved spotlight on a Jewish woman who achieved much, but is not well-known today. It should be read widely.

The illustrations are integral to the story and are particularly effective in scenes of diverse women banding together in common cause in their efforts to improve the lot of all." -- Michal Hoschander Malen, retired librarian; current library volunteer in Efrat, Israel; editor of children's and young adult book reviews for the Jewish Book Council, AJL Newsletter
