Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
John Lewis
Meeg Pincus · 2021
70/100
👍 Worth It
John Lewis is one of the most important civil rights figures a young reader can encounter, and the My Itty-Bitty Bio format handles the Edmund Pettus Bridge and his decades of congressional service at exactly the right level for a five-to-eight audience. The backmatter — timeline, glossary, index — makes it genuinely useful for nonfiction reading units, not just inspirational shelf display.
