Dangerous Jane

<b>An inspiring picture book biography of Jane Addams, the groundbreaking social activist who went from the FBI''s "Most Dangerous Woman in America" to Nobel Peace Prize winner.</b><br><br>From the time she was a child, Jane Addams''s heart ached for others—for those who were sad, hungry, and hopeless. When she grew up, Jane created Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago where she worked eighteen hours a day, providing whatever her immigrant neighbors needed: English lessons, childcare, steady work—as well as friendship, dignity, and hope. Then World War I broke out. Jane had helped people from different countries live in peace at Hull House, but what could she do to stop a war?<br><br>Suzanne Slade''s powerful free verse and Alice Ratterree''s stunning, period-perfect illustrations bring a remarkable woman to life.
