"What a story, about a lone girl crossing the racial divide - alone. Touching & inspiring, told from the perspective of a six-year old. A great introduction for kids to some pretty heavy topics."
"This is the story of Ruby Bridges, a brave six year old African American girl, who enrolls in an all white school in 1960. Once she enrolled many parents were outraged and withdrew their kids. At one point Ruby was in a class all by herself with just her teacher. It is a story of perseverance, courage and hope. It tells a great historic lesson in a way that captivates the audience of young children and adults. The illustrations in this book were very appealing. This book could be used with early elementary students as will as middle school students. It could be used when talking about this time period and segregation."
"Story of a young girl who enters a grade school in Mississippi alone, with the exception of the marshalls hired to protect her from the angry protesters during the desegregation of America's schools. Excellent way to give young students access to this important part of our country's history."
