Astra Publishing House The Poppy Lady: Moina Belle Michael and Her
Book SynopsisHere is the inspiring story behind the Veterans Day red poppy, a symbol that honors the service and sacrifices of our veterans.When American soldiers entered World War I, Moina Belle Michael, a schoolteacher from Georgia, knew she had to act. Some of the soldiers were her students and friends. Almost single-handedly, Moina worked to establish the red poppy as the symbol to honor and remember soldiers. And she devoted the rest of her life to making sure the symbol would last forever. Thanks to her hard work, that symbol remains strong today. Author Barbara Elizabeth Walsh and artist Layne Johnson worked with experts, primary documents, and Moina's great-nieces to better understand Moina's determination to honor the war veterans.A portion of the book's proceeds will support the National Military Family Association's Operation Purple®, which benefits children of the US Military.Trade Review"Since WWI, red poppies have been used to commemorate fallen soldiers; Walsh explains why in a glowing tribute to the woman behind the symbol, Moina Belle Michael... Johnson's oil paintings offer several dramatically lit, almost beatific portraits of Michael" --Publishers Weekly"Michael’s moral force and commitment are commendable and noteworthy... heroic..." -- Kirkus Reviews

Workman Publishing Votes for Women!: American Suffragists and the
Book Synopsis“Lively . . . Defiant . . . Pulling back the curtain on 100 years of struggle . . . The women who shaped the American narrative come to life with refreshing attention to detail.”—The New York Times Book Review For nearly 150 years, American women did not have the right to vote. On August 18, 1920, they won that right, when the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified at last. To achieve that victory, some of the fiercest, most passionate women in history marched, protested, and sometimes even broke the law—for more than eight decades. From Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who founded the suffrage movement at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, to Sojourner Truth and her famous “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech, to Alice Paul, arrested and force-fed in prison, this is the story of the American women’s suffrage movement and the private lives that fueled its leaders’ dedication. Votes for Women! explores suffragists’ often powerful, sometimes difficult relationship with the intersecting temperance and abolition campaigns, and includes an unflinching look at some of the uglier moments in women’s fight for the vote. By turns illuminating, harrowing, and empowering, Votes for Women! paints a vibrant picture of the women whose tireless battle still inspires political, human rights, and social justice activism.

Book Synopsis“The art is wonderful, and the language is entertaining and captivating.” – Association of Jewish LibrariesThis graphic novel for ages 8-12 depicts the ups and downs of Dr. Ruth's life from her escape from the Nazis at age 10 aboard a Kindertransport, to her training as a sniper with the Hagganah in Israel, through her immigration to the US where she started as a maid, became a college professor, and eventually a television star. Using a trip to an amusement park with her grandchildren as its framework, the story subtly demonstrates lessons of grit, resilience, and strength that readers can apply to their own lives.Trade Review"... This book illustrates the life of a woman who has been successful as a result of hard work, fierce determination, unparalleled resilience and a total lack of fear. The illustrator uses full color drawings to experience the amusement park and all its joys, then transitions to sepia tone graphics for the flashbacks into Dr. Ruth’s past. The art is wonderful, and the language is entertaining and captivating. A beautifully illustrated timeline of Dr. Ruth’s life concludes the book, and the final page provides questions to think about after reading the story, along with a short bio and pictures of Dr. Ruth now and then."-- Association of Jewish Libraries
