Dorothea Lange saw the stories that others overlooked. Before she lifted her camera lens to capture some of the most iconic photographs in American history, she focused her attention on the downtrodden. A childhood battle with polio left her with a limp, granting her a deep, personal empathy for those facing hardship. When the Great Depression struck, Dorothea traveled across the United States. She documented bankers waiting in breadlines, formerly enslaved people struggling to survive, and homeless families sleeping on sidewalks. Through her fieldbook and her camera, she captured the undeniable face of a struggling nation. This lyrical picture book biography invites you to view the world through the eyes of an influential artist who used her unique perspective and powerful images to advocate for the forgotten.

When Woodrow Wilson became the President of the United States, he stepped into the ring for one of the greatest battles in American history. In the opposite corner stood Alice Paul, a fierce and relentless leader of the women's suffrage movement who refused to back down. Framed as an energetic, four-round boxing match, this gripping historical account details Alice Paul's strategic arguments, highly coordinated protests, and unbreakable spirit. Even when she faced severe violence and was unjustly thrown in jail, Alice continued to throw metaphorical punches for women's right to vote. Through sheer determination, she finally convinced the President to support her cause, securing a victory that changed the country forever. It is a brilliantly creative look at a monumental clash of wills and the incredible power of peaceful perseverance.
