A powerful introduction to a little known, very brave woman."—starred,
Kirkus Reviews
"Elegant, assured prose ('The air was thick with tears for lost loved ones'), accentuated by facts and data, will keep readers absorbed alongside Nayberg's engrossingly abstract, fluid illustrations, tinted in rich hues of blue-green and red. A moving biography of a lesser-known heroine."—starred,
Publishers Weekly
"Using concise but informative text, Churnin does an excellent job of introducing this dynamic woman in a picture book format . . . [while] Nayberg's modernist, expressionistic illustrations effectively capture Henrietta's powerful persona."—starred,
