Eleanor Roosevelt
Author(s): Russell Freedman

A 1994 Newbery Honor Book

The intriguing story of Eleanor Roosevelt traces the life of the former First Lady from her early childhood through the tumultuous years in the White House to her active role in the founding of the United Nations after World War II. A Newberry Honor Book.

Review(s):
“Freedman has created a sensitive biography of Eleanor Roosevelt — certainly sympathetic but not overly adulatory; it captures her spirit. The beautifully crafted text flows smoothly and is accompanied by over one hundred black-and-white photographs portraying Roosevelt at every age. Young readers will find inspiration, hope, and guidance in the life of the outstanding woman. Bib., ind.” — Copyright 1994 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
