As a former social work major, ❤️ this picture book of Jane Addams development and work at Hull House in Chicago.

rubyslippersreads If you like old-fashioned novels, you might like this by the author of the #BetsyTacy books. Emily is inspired by Jane Addams and Hull House to help people in her own town.

The House That Jane Built: A Story About Jane Addams | Tanya Lee Stone

This is a great introduction to Jane Addams and the founding of Hull House. Addams social reforming and activism benefited many people, and this, although focused on just Hull House, reflects that. Of course I wish there could have been more info about those who were also instrumental in Hull House, or on her Nobel Peace Prize or being a founding member of the NAACP and the ACLU, but there‘s only so much room in a picture book. :)
