Your book, Let Me Play: the Story of Title IX, has been described as "one example of an excellent survey style book of informational literature" (Vardell, p. 238). I would argue that it is also a "social history," presenting information in the context of its impact on human history (p. 239). Do you view your work through either of these lenses when you set out to write? What place do you hope for your work to occupy in the canon of informational lit for children?
