Reviews
Praise for Mother Jones and Her Army of Mill Children:

"A stellar introduction to an important and ongoing social issue." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Winter's affirmative text, paired with Carpenter's dramatic art featuring an insistent Mother, dramatically demonstrate both the injustice and determination." --Booklist, starred review

"Adroitly capture[s] both the grim reality of children at work and the irresistible hope of people coming together to demand change." --Publishers Weekly

"The theme--that progress is worth fighting for and may not show immediate success--is there for the taking." --The Horn Book

"An engaging topic for starting discussion of child labor in America's past and the worldwide child-labor abuses that continue today." --The Bulletin

Praise for Jonah Winter's Elvis is King!

"Readers will want to pore over this thoroughly engaging volume." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"[A] sly, rollicking picture book bio of Elvis Presley and his rise from mic-shy blond tyke to teen dreamboat with product-infused raven hair who turned his stage-fright trembling into iconic sex appeal" --The Bulletin, starred review

Praise for Nancy Carpenter's A Letter to My Teacher

"A valuable lesson in empathy, internalized and paid forward." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Hopkinson's moving epistolary text and Carpenter's emotionally incisive flashbacks chronicle the evolving relationship between an impulsive second grader and her life-changing teacher." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
