Fan of Newsies, picture books, AND biographies?
Check this out.
This is actually a pretty good book about the actual events (not the Disneyfied version of history) of the strike. Among other things, the hero is Kid Blink, who actually was a leader in real life... unlike in the movie where the leaders are all the pretty guys and Blink is a very minor background figure. (Fan of fixing the erasure of disabled people in history?)
Don Brown (not who you're thinking!) has rapidly become one of my new favorite picture book authors because of his biographies, and this one is no failure. You really should check out a copy.
