Illustrated by
David Gardner.
As "editress" of two popular ladies' magazines in the mid-1800s, Sarah Josepha Hale advocated for women's education, wrote the first novel condemning slavery, and penned "Mary Had a Little Lamb." This picture-book biography focuses on Hale's tireless work to make Thanksgiving a national holiday, but her wide-ranging influence comes across in the admiring text, the author's note, and the genial illustrations.
