Audrey Evans
In this lively biography written for girls and boys in upper elementary school grades, children will meet a woman who went to medical school when very few women did. They will chuckle at her misadventures as a child and marvel at how she improved medical care for children when she grew up despite her learning disability. They will learn how she came up with the idea for Ronald McDonald Houses and how she started a school in the city where she lived. She is "not your ordinary doctor!" Her story will inspire children (and maybe their parents) to care for others, to consider careers they may not have dreamed possible, and to persevere despite setbacks that seem to threaten failure.
