"Kids at Work exposes the foreign world of child labor using startling images from Lewis Hine. In a world today where people are abhorred at the mention of child labor in the news or media, reading this book sheds light on a world foreign to most of us alive today.
Children were working long hours and starting as early as the age of three. They worked in coal mines, spinning houses, the food industry, almost anywhere, and for little or no money. Kids were robbed of their childhood and Freedman does a good job of proving that to us both with the use of testimonial text with the support of Hine's photos. This book is Upton Sinclare's 'The Jungle' of child labor, exposing the past which brought us to the present."
"Author, Russell Freedman, explores the life and passion of photographer Lewis Hine and his work on behalf of child laborers in the early twentieth century. This biographical text breaks Hine's work into chapters and includes Hine's startling black and white photographs of child laborers. While the text format does not lend itself to the reader, the large photographs that fill every-other page will invoke emotion and empathy.
This text can provide information as well as give rise to critical inquiry. Discussion regarding child labor is sure to follow after reviewing this book and would complement the fictional text, Working Cotton."
