(3) K-3 On My Own Biography series. Illustrated by Smith Kimanne. This brief, easy-to-read biography focuses on Quaker Prudence Crandall's fight to run a school for black girls against the wishes of the bigoted townspeople in Canterbury, Connecticut. The text and adequate color illustrations provide readers with a glimpse at life for women and minorities in the pre-Civil War north. An author's note, afterword, and chronology are included.
