Praise & Recognition
“It is a must-purchase for Canadian libraries and should be considered by any library that could use biographies of lesser-known people, strong women, or social activists.”
VOYA Magazine“Filled with dozens of photographs, a timeline of her life, and selected honors she’s received, so this is a great book for anyone looking for information specifically on Ms. Callwood, or for those interested in Canadian activists.”
Teens Read Too“June Callwood’s story is a magnificent one and this biography for young adults captures the details of her social activism and her journalistic endeavors quite well.”
Canadian Children's Book News“Dublin not only informs her readers about Callwood but places Callwood’s life within the society and value of her times. Dublin also teaches the reader about some job aspects of being a working journalist.”
CM Magazine“Truly observant readers will not only take note of the writing, but also the simple yet effective manner in which the book is organized. The book is an easy to understand, yet detailed, style.”
