This book is for the age range of 9-12 year old children. This book book is about a nine year old girl named, Lorraine Jackson, who lived during the Memphis sanitation strike in 1968. This was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's last act of Justice before he died. Lorraine's father, was a sanitation worker that took part of the sanitation strike with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would use this book as a resource for learning the sanitation strike. This would be a book we would read during Black History Month. This is a great picture book.
