"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."
"Just shared this book with my children for the first time. Fantastic book for kids who are complaining about doing their chores. Definitely puts their life in perspective and helps them gain a great appreciation for the freedoms, liberties, and privileges they enjoy in this country and is an interesting conversation starter about how children in other countries still live. Photographs really bring the story close to home!"
