Working for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), Hine traveled the country, taking pictures of children as young as five toiling under dangerous conditions in cotton mills, seafood canneries, farms, and coal mines. He often wore disguises to sneak into factories, impersonating a machinery inspector or traveling salesman. He said, "If I could tell this story in words, I wouldn't need to lug a camera." His poignant pictures attracted national attention and were instrumental in the passage of child labor laws. <i>The Traveling Camera</i> includes extensive back matter with timelines, original photographs, and a bibliography.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A searching picture of a pioneering social crusader."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>-- "Kirkus Reviews" (7/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>A beautiful and heartwarming book--I give it my highest recommendation.--Kate Sampsell-Willman, author of Lewis Hine as Social Critic<br><br>Lyrical writing combines with charming illustrations to deepen the reader's engagement with Hine and the children he cared about. <i>The Traveling Camera </i>offers a way of looking at history as a confluence of art, activism, and social change.--Uma Krishnaswami, author of Book Uncle and Me and Step Up to the Plate, Maria Singh<br><br>This book is stunning, both in words and pictures, truly a snapshot of history.--Jane Yolen, author of Owl Moon, Devil's Arithmetic, and I Am the Storm<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alexandra S.
