An elderly African American woman, en route to vote, remembers her family’s tumultuous voting history in this picture book publishing in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As Lillian, a one-hundred-year-old African American woman, makes a “long haul up a steep hill” to her polling place, she sees more than trees and sky—she sees her family’s history. She sees the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment and her great-grandfather voting for the first time. She sees her parents trying to register to vote. And she sees herself marching in a protest from Selma to Montgomery. Veteran bestselling picture-book author Jonah Winter and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner Shane W. Evans vividly recall America’s battle for civil rights in this lyrical, poignant account of one woman’s fierce determination to make it up the hill and make her voice heard."Moving.... Stirs up a potent mixture of grief, anger, and pride at the history of black people’s fight for access to the ballot box." —The New York Times"A much-needed picture book that will enlighten a new generation about battles won and a timely call to uphold these victories in the present." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred"A valuable introduction to and overview of the civil rights movement." —Publishers Weekly, Starred"An important book that will give you goose bumps." —Booklist, Starred

Lillian's Right to Vote by Jonah WinterAge Range: 5 - 9 yearsGrade Level: Kindergarten - 4Hardcover: 40 pagesPublisher: Schwartz & Wade (July 14, 2015)My Review~This is such a beautifully illustrated book for Kindergarten - 4th grade and even older kids. It is Voting Day and Lillian is an old African American woman who has been alive for a hundred years. She is walking up hill to the Voting building. Along the way she sees her ancestors and the hardships they endured to have voting rights in America. From slavery to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Lillain will take you through the ages with her ancestors and herself to finally be able to vote at the hall. The hardships they endured are remarkable as a race and people. This book will illustrate the hardships yet have a childhood innocence that won't bother children to read. My children and I will re-read this book as a celebration and a piece of history that they will understand the hardships and what a privilege it is to vote in America. I love this book and can't describe how remarkable this book is.
