Review The latest volumes in the attractive Leaders Like Us series introduce young readers to a diverse group of Americans who have worked for justice and against discrimination on many levels. Dalip Singh Saund tells of a young man who left India to study agriculture in California, helped overturn the law barring Indian immigrants from citizenship, and later became the first Asian American and first Sikh elected to Congress. José Feliciano introduces a boy, blind since birth, whose Puerto Rican family moved to New York City in 1945. Playing his guitar for hours every day, he wrote songs, performed, and later brought people together through his music. Pura Belpré chronicles the life of New York Citys first Puerto Rican librarian, who started a collection of childrens books in Spanish, conducted bilingual programs, and wrote books based on folktales she heard as a child. Yuri Kochiyama presents the life of a notable American activist. Kochiyamas family was incarcerated for two years with other Japanese Americans during WWII. Afterwards, she fought against injustice and promoted the "togetherness of all peoples." The clearly delineated, digital artwork suggests setting subtly, while drawing the eye toward the people discussed and expressing their emotions simply. An appealing biography series for young readers. --Carolyn Phelan Booklist, October 2023 Details ISBN1731657390 Pages 24 Publisher Discovery Library Series Leaders Like Us Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781731657398 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-08-11 Imprint Discovery Library Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2023-08-11 NZ Release Date 2023-08-11 US Release Date 2023-08-11 UK Release Date 2023-08-11 Audience Children / Juvenile DEWEY 782.42166092 Audience Age 6-10 Author Elisa Chavarri Illustrations Illustrations Illustrator Elisa Chavarri We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
