Clara Barton was one of my favorite historical figures when I was a girl, and, after reading this picture book biography, I'm happy to see that she holds up as a woman of character and courage.

Barton served as nurse during the Civil War, established the American Red Cross, and worked for civil rights for women and people of color.

What an example of strength and wisdom she shows in this book! The book uses Barton's own words as well as poetry from the author to tell the story of Barton during the Battle of Antietam.
