Book Synopsis
An inspiring picture book biography of Jane Addams, the groundbreaking social activist who went from the FBI''s "Most Dangerous Woman in America" to Nobel Peace Prize winner.

From the time she was a child, Jane Addams''s heart ached for others?for those who were sad, hungry, and hopeless. When she grew up, Jane created Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago where she worked eighteen hours a day, providing whatever her immigrant neighbors needed: English lessons, childcare, steady work?as well as friendship, dignity, and hope. Then World War I broke out. Jane had helped people from different countries live in peace at Hull House, but what could she do to stop a war?

Suzanne Slade''s powerful free verse and Alice Ratterree''s stunning, period-perfect illustrations bring a remarkable woman to life.
