    About The Ballot Box Battle

    From a Caldecott-winning author comes a lushly illustrated picture book about the fight for women’s rights that makes for perfect for President’s Day reading!

    Caldecott medalist Emily Arnold McCully delivers the inspiring story of a young girl named Cordelia whose relationship with her neighbor, the great suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, inspires her to a remarkable act of courage.

    About The Ballot Box Battle

    Illustrated in full color. Just in time for the presidential election comes Caldecott medalist Emily Arnold McCully’s stirring tale of a young girl’s act of bravery inspired by the great Elizabeth Cady Stanton. It is the fall of 1880, and Cordelia is more interested in horse riding than in hearing her neighbor, Mrs. Stanton talk about her fight for women’s suffrage. But on Election Day, Mrs. Stanton tells the heart-wrenching story of her childhood. Charged with the story’s message, Cordelia determines to go with Mrs. Stanton to the polls in an attempt to vote–above the jeers and taunts of the male crowd. With faces, landscapes, and action scenes brought to life by McCully’s virtuosic illustrations, Cordelia’s turning-point experience is sure to inspire today’s young girls (and boys) everywhere.

    Praise

    *"McCully’s richly hued, softly textured paintings beautifully evoke the late 19th-century era…skillfully weaving fact and story, The Ballot Box Battle offers a history lesson pleasingly framed in a story about an independent young girl" (School Library Journal, starred review).
