So when the millworkers decide to go on strike, the two friends join the picket line. Maybe now life will change for them. But when a famous labor reformer named Mother Jones comes to hear of the millworkers' demands, she tells them they need to do more than just strike. ?Troubled by all she had seen, Mother Jones wanted to end child labor. But what could she do? Why, organize a children's march and bring the message right to President Theodore Roosevelt at his summer home in Oyster Bay, of course!? Written by Monica Kulling, with vibrant illustrations by Felicita Sala, this nonfiction picture book uses an entertaining story about fictitious characters to bring a real event in history to vivid life. The actual march raised awareness across North America and contributed to the passage of the first child labor laws. It offers an excellent model for how ordinary people, including children, can make a difference by standing up for what's right. For lesson planning, there's more about Mother Jones, the march and child labor laws at the end of the book. There's also information about child labor today and concrete suggestions for getting involved and helping, making this book perfect for discussions about social justice, activism and citizenship." -- $c Amazon.com 600 10 $a Jones, $c Mother, $d 1837-1930 $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Child labor $v Juvenile fiction. 655 0 $a Picture books for children. 655 7 $a Children's Picture Books. $2 local 700 1 $a Sala, Felicita, $e illustrator. 830 0 $a CitizenKid. 941 $a 7 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011930.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924014106.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070617.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190205031821.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006100952.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035152.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170401010250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3851F73286D311E6AD05B3EADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
