Marching with Aunt Susan Susan B. Anthony and the Fight for Women’s Suffrage Written by Claire Rudolf Murphy | Illustrated by Stacey Schuett HC: 978-1-56145-593-5 PB: 978-1-56145-979-7 Ages 6–10 | Historical Fiction AR • RC • Lexile • F&P • GRL Q; Gr 4 At times the expression of the illustrations seems inhibited by the elaborate details that can dominate the pages. Through the voice of 10-year-old Bessie in 1896 in Berkeley, Calif., readers glimpse a moment in the very long fight for women’s suffrage in the United States. The plan seems doomed from the start when Emmy loses her beloved blanket. Perspectives are distorted, buildings topsy-turvy, eyes of human and beast are wild and wide—even the sharp-toothed river fish look agitated, as in a crazy nightmare. Bit by bit, Emmy comes to terms with her longing for Nainai and realizes commonalities with her dad, himself an immigrant. First-person text gives glimpses into May’s lively thoughts as they evolve through the day, and Gong Gong’s unchangingly jolly face reflects what could be mistaken for blithe obliviousness but is actually his way of showing love through sharing the people and places of his life. The differing textiles and patterns are beautifully rendered in layered, uneven strokes of color. It is not until Susan B. Anthony comes to town that Bessie realizes she has the power to stand up … Susan B. Anthony did not literally bring the child TO the march. She promptly saddles up her pony Bess and rides all night—50 miles over hill and dale—to warn General Skinner’s militia about the incoming redcoats. Yet elongated descriptions narrate how Emmy finds bits of blue and comfort in each room.
