To Walk the Sky: How Iroquois Steelworkers Helped Build Towering Cities by Patricia Morris Buckley is an essential addition to school libraries. The core story is important and innately engaging: the Iroquois steelworkers scrambling on beams high above the city will really impress kids, and the idea of them finding good jobs because they are so brave should speak to them.
The actual delivery is not quite as engaging as as the story: the storytelling is basic/prosaic. But the idea and some of the images are great.
