  “Nancy Kelly Allen’s buoyant prose virtually sings throughout this engaging account of the world’s best-known musical ditty. Informative and fun!”  —Paul Brett Johnson, author and illustrator of The Cow Who Wouldn’t Come Down During a time when candles glowed in lieu of electricity, the Hill sisters of Kentucky spent their days playing music on the piano and singing. While Mildred tickled out tunes on the ivories, Patty strung together lyrics and sang along.  Once the sisters grew up and became teachers, they continued to mix music and words, creating lovely melodies with an infectious beat. Each day they serenaded their kindergarten class with the catchy song “Good Morning to All.” When Mildred and Patty changed the lyrics at a birthday party, they could hardly have imagined that their little tune would become one of the world’s most recognizable and beloved songs.  Complete with Gary Undercuffler’s detailed and colorful illustrations, this cheerful children’s book captures the history of the “Happy Birthday” song.

  Susan B Anthony

  This biography for young readers examines the life of an American who advocated for women’s rights and the abolishment of slavery. 
   
  Susan B. Anthony was born into a world in which men ruled women. A man could beat his wife, take her earrings, have her committed to an asylum based on his word alone, and take her children away from her. While the young nation was ablaze with the radical notion that people could govern themselves, “people” were understood to be white and male. Women were expected to stay out of public life and debates. 
   
  As Anthony saw the situation, “Women’s subsistence is in the hands of men, and most arbitrarily and unjustly does he exercise his consequent power.” She imagined a different world—one where women and people of color were treated with the same respect that white men were given. 
   
  Susan B. Anthony explores her life, from childhood to her public career as a radical abolitionist to her rise to become an international leader in the women’s suffrage movement. 
   
  The book includes selections of Anthony’s writing, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.  
   
  “Susan B. Anthony, who fought tirelessly for women to have the right to vote, is profiled in this very readable entry in the Making of America series.” —Booklist
