Clara Barton: Spirit of the American Red Cross

48 pp. | Simon/Aladdin | August, 2004 | Library ISBN 0-689-86514-7 $11.89 | Paper ISBN 0-689-86513-9 $3.99
(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Stories of Famous Americans series. Illustrated by Simon Sullivan. Barton's childhood, her early life helping soldiers during the Civil War, and her founding of the American Red Cross are briefly detailed in this biography for emergent readers. The information is sound, but the illustrations are awkward, and at times Barton looks grotesque, as if Sullivan is ramming home the reference to her homeliness made in the text. Timeline.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
