-Kirkus Reviews

 

“This book could be of great significance if placed in classrooms throughout California as part of the social studies curriculum. I highly recommend this book to all ages alike.”

“... should be required reading for California students. It’s going on my child’s summer reading list.”

–Heidi Komlofske-Rojek, President & CEO, City Book Review

I love history. At its core, it is about human nature: learning how others who have come before us have overcome challenges—some of which we still face today. History can give us a deeper perspective and can provide solace and hope, knowing we have been through tough times before.
