Abstract | The annual "National Council for the Social Studies" (NCSS) Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People list often contains picture books that profile citizen role models--people who worked to change society for the better. In 2018 the list includes beautiful, thoughtful biographies of people who chose "doing good" over "doing well." Books highlight Jane Addams's social work at Hull House in Chicago, Arturo Schomburg's creation of the Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, Pete Seeger's legacy of singing for social justice, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fights for equality under the law. This article discusses how elementary teachers can help nurture the next generation of citizen-activists with two books that explore examples of young people engaging in civic action. (ERIC). |
