Goldie Takes a Stand: Golda Meir's First Crusade* by Barbara Krasner illustrated by Kelsey Garrity-Riley

Goldie is bothered by the fact her that some of her classmates cannot afford to purchase textbooks.
She and a group of Jewish girls come together with determination to raise money for their friends.
In this book Goldie is only in 4th grade but has responsibilities and the determination that children in our modern society cannot even comprehend.
A great book to inspire children-to show them that they "can do hard things" and make a difference.
*Highly recommend.
Although the text is easy reading for 4th-6th graders, they would still benefit from reading it and being inspired from Goldie's leadership skills.
