        Grades 1-3 These new picture-book biographies in the Leaders Like Us series (written and illustrated by Black women) (4 new titles) place a well-deserved spotlight on lesser-known Black Americans who were leaders in their fields. Readers enter the NASCAR circuit in Wendell Scott, where they'll see impressive driving unfortunately hampered by racism; Scott saw his first-place trophy in the 1963 Grand National Series race--the first won by any Black driver--awarded to a white man instead, a slight finally corrected in 2010. Occasionally the writing lacks smooth transitions, but all the books give a clear sense of their subjects, the importance of their work, and obstacles they overcame. Welcoming, full-page illustrations, reading-comprehension questions, and an activity prompt round out each title in this worthwhile series.
