Another first lady, but not your average "first lady". A champion of social causes, Mrs. Roosevelt's life has been chronicled in a number of books. One I just have to share by a favorite author and illustrator - Barbara Cooney. This biography shares the early life of this famous American and the challenges she faced. Another title for readers is Eleanor by Russell Freeman. This Newbery Award winner shares the life of Mrs. Roosevelt using beautiful pictures and factual details. Some classroom connections and activities such as writing a letter, a virtual; trip to the U.N, making a timeline, etc. are fun.
