REVIEWS
"Ten Mile Day is in a class by itself. It is a picture-book slice of American history..."
School Library Journal

"Making good use of the picture-book format, her realistic earth-tone paintings convey the action and sense of vastness of the scene and the enormity of the task....An attractive resource."
Kirkus Reviews

• Transcontinental Railroad from PBS.  The Group 3 Lesson for Chinese Laborers3 is a perfect fit with the book, 10 Mile Day. In the lesson you are to write a series of letters home to China describing the experience.
• Information on the Chinese contributation to the Transcontinental Railroad from the Central Pacific History Museum.
