LET LIBERTY RISE! (Scholastic 3-2-21) received a “sparkling” review from Kirkus. “Sparkling language movingly describes how everyday folks effected powerful change. Readers will relish knowing that kids played a pivotal role in the campaign; many actual quotes from children are included. Lively, colorful illustrations capturing the period depict diverse characters and wonderful perspectives.” Read the full review here!
