Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ralph J. Bunche
Pat McKissack · 2002
74/100
👍 Worth It
A solid, classroom-ready biography of a genuinely important and underrepresented figure in American diplomatic history. The McKissacks are trusted names in children's nonfiction, and the concise format is right for its age range. At only 32 pages the depth is thin, but as an introduction for young readers it earns its place on a school shelf.
