Emma, a young girl, sees many unfair situations everywhere she goes. She didn't know how to help until she realizes that small jestures of kindness can make big differences. As a teenager she began talking to large crowds about the injustices she saw all around in parks, and even on the steps of city hall. As an adult, she helped pecan sellers gain better pay and better working conditions.
I would recommend this book because it is easy to get into and you cannot wait to turn the page. Every page is filled with color from end to end. This is a book teachers should have in their classrooms so young girls can see that they too can make a difference.
