Engaging Children's Books on Labor Movements
Newsies the book?!! I stumbled across it at the library when looking for books for the Industrial Revolution. ..
I decided that showing working class conditions would have to do. Are there no lovely living books about this topic specifically?
.
Using our love of Newsies as a jumping point, this book was great to get their interest up. Add to that the girl strikers ten years later and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.
..
We’re learning about the end results of the time through some great biographical kid books. Immigrants, tenements, workers unions, and how good kids have it now. Still some great jumping off points.

With great pictures. ..
There have to be good books about this time period and WW1 that aren’t just boring textbook type fact books, right? I can’t just hope to accidentally find some more.
