Description

It's the early 1970s in America and change is in the air. Women are marching in support of the Equal Rights Amendment. It's a time of self-expression and social change. Jillian Parker loves math; it's her favorite subject and she is good at it. So when it's time for the fourth graders to select their after-school clubs, she knows exactly what she'll choose. But when Jillian goes to sign her name on the Math Club sign-up sheet, she is met with snickering and jeers. A girl in the boys' club? Shouldn't she be in Cooking Club, instead?

Jillian knows she's smart, but maybe she's not smart enough. Maybe they are right, and she doesn't belong. She's just one girl. But after hearing about the discrimination experienced by her mother and other women, Jillian realizes that maybe what is needed is for just one girl to step forward. A new entry in the Tales of Young Americans series.

Critical Reviews

An important book for all young readers with a heartfelt message, especially for girls, but also an ageless mantra for all women!-- "Ruth Keefer, Ph D, Director of Curriculum (retired), South San Francisco School District, San Francisco, CA" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

This book is awesome! I can't wait to share it with my granddaughters and my students. It would be a great addition to any classroom and family library.-- "J. Borden, Author Chair, Keystone State Literacy Association, PA" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

This story brought tears to my eyes. I grew up in the same era as the author and received the same negative messages about possibilities for my future. We need changes in our country as described by these strong characters.-- "Marilyn J. Eisenwine, Ph D, Professor of Teacher Education (retired), Angelo State University, San Angelo, TX" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Trinka Hakes Noble has done it again! Go and get this book for your girls or for your students NOW! I have fallen in love with so many of Trinka's picture books, but this one stands out from the rest. Well done!-- "Christine Fugere, Elementary Librarian, Parsippany-Troy Hills School District, NJ" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Just One Girl is a timely reminder that the fight for equal rights is still going on today. Informative and inspirational. A must have for any classroom or home library.-- "Rose Cappelli, Keystone to Reading, Keystone State Literacy Association, PA" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)

Just One Girl is a beautiful story and gave me the chills! It's a perfect companion to our new language arts curriculum whose first unit is human rights. I'm excited to share it with my classes.--Jill Mills "Jill Mills, Librarian, Franklin Elementary School, Summit, NJ" (8/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)
