Dangerous Jane

Praise

“A straightforward introduction to the dedication and purpose of an American heroine.” —Booklist

“An inspiring testament to the power of activism.. . . An afterword and timeline round out a solid introduction to a woman who ‘kept doing what she’d always done: helping people. No matter where they were from. No matter what others thought. No matter the cost.'” —Publishers Weekly

“Slade tells the purposively inspiring story with a poetic flair, and Ratterree’s pale, evocatively washed-out watercolor illustrations are richly detailed. . . An attractive volume introducing an important American to young readers.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Slade continues her line of outstanding nonfiction picture books with her latest offering, about Jane Addams. . . . This short biography emphasizes the value of doing what is right despite criticism. . . . In Slade’s and Ratterree’s hands, Addams’s legacy shines brightly for the next generation of advocates. . . . A stirring addition to any school or public library’s biography section.” —School Library Journal
