The latest volumes in the attractive Leaders Like Us series (4 new titles) introduce young readers to a diverse group of Americans who have worked for justice and against discrimination on many levels. The writing is straightforward and informative. Yuri Kochiyama presents the life of a notable American activist. Kochiyama's family was incarcerated for two years with other Japanese Americans during WWII. Afterwards, she fought against injustice and promoted the "togetherness of all peoples." The clearly delineated, digital artwork suggests settings subtly, while drawing the eye toward the people discussed and expressing their emotions simply. An appealing biography series for young readers.
