“...helping people. No matter where they were from. No matter what others thought. No matter what the cost.”

I was so fascinated at how simple and light the pictures were. I can‘t help but think that‘s exactly how Jane would want it - not flashy, but simple and to the point.

Such an amazing book about a woman not many people know about. Jane‘s story is inspiring, emotional, and heart-warming. I think children would appreciate this book and find it great, but as they get older, this book will mean so much more. Such a great story to read.

“Jane kept doing what she‘s always done: helping people. No matter where they were from. No matter what others thought.”

Important story that teaches about being giving and helping the less fortunate. Pictures are beautifully illustrated and the words and simple for children to read

2017, biography. Tells the story of Jane Addams who devoted her life to helping others. She kept peace at Hull House and gathered woman across America to create a woman‘s peace party during world war 1. She was the first American woman to win the Nobel peace prize

A great book that represents history and how peace came about.

This book represents the warm heart of Jane and how she felt for and wanted to help those who were poor. I tells the story of how she went after her beliefs and opened a place that welcomed everyone that provided her neighbors needs. This created the Women‘s Peace Party. Genre: Biography; Published: 2017; Illustrator: Alice Ratterree

#ANewChapter Day 22: Jane Addams was no stranger to heartache and pain, having lost her mother at 2yo and suffering from a disease that made her back crooked when she was young. It was no surprise that she empathized deeply with people who felt #unwanted, unloved, and live in the fringes of society. My review of this fascinating picturebook biography which shows how acts of kindness can be considered “dangerous”: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jfV

The first american woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize was once considered dangerous. At times she was thought of as a traitor, or a spy, but all she really wanted was for people to live in harmony, not be hungry, and to do good in life. This is a fabulous book about a woman most kids do not learn about in school. I am glad to see that her contributions are being shared for more audiences.
