Dangerous Jane
Suzanne Slade, author | Alice Ratterree, illustrator
Based on the life and works of Jane Addams.
"Slade tells the purposively inspiring story with a poetic flair, and Ratterree's pale, evocatively washed-out watercolor illustrations are richly detailed. . . An attractive volume introducing an important American to young readers."
— Kirkus Reviews.
"Jane wanted to help those families, but their problems were too big for a small girl to fix."
In 1889, Jane swung the front doors wide open. Everyone was welcome. Anytime.
Neighbors called her "Miss Kind Heart"
the International Congress of Women needed a brave leader. They needed Jane.
