What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Photobiography of early twentieth-century photographer Lewis Hine, using his own work as illustrations. Hines’s photographs of children at work were so devastating that they convinced the American people that Congress must pass child labor laws. “Readers will not only come to appreciate the impact of his groundbreaking work, but will also learn how one man dedicated and developed his skill and talents to bring about social reform.” – School Library Journal, starred review
