Great story of a Mexican-American activist in Texas, seeing injustice around her as a child, and taking steps to do something about it as she grows up. My child loved it. This was pretty wordy, probably not for a toddler/ young preschooler.

Essential reading for all elementary classrooms, and beyond. Emma Tenayuca is not as well known as some other civil rights activists, and this is an excellent introduction to her and her work as a young girl, a teen, and then a young adult. From a very early age Emma recognised injustices and did what she could to address these, such as giving food and clothing to a struggling family, and helping her friend learn to read, as this friend had to miss many days of school to work in the fields.
The book is written by Emma's niece, Ms. Sharyll Teneyuca, and Emma's friend, Dr. Carmen Tafolla, in Emma's memory. There is clearly more to Emma's story than this book can contain, this is but a jumping off point.
