Review: Ruby Bridges was the first African-American girl to attend an all White school in New Orleans in 1960. The story follows her struggles, the protests of white families, and how she overcame predjudice.
This is such a wonderful story, and one of my favorite historical stories. I loved reading about how a little girl of only 6 years was able to persevere and overcome adversity.
Teaching Points: Character Traits - How did Ruby show courage? What character traits did she possess?
Compare and Contrast the book with the movie, as well as her autobiography, Through My Eyes

Review: This poignant biography discusses Sylvia Mendez and her families fight to de-segregate schools in California. Mendez and her family, originally from Mexico, were not permitted in the "Whites Only" school. Her family then came together with the community to de-segregate schools in California.
Teaching Points: This is a great Social Studies story to discuss segregation, on all ends of the spectrum.
Students could write a letter explaining why Sylvia should be allowed to attend the school.

The illustrations are bright and colorful and the story is full of excitement and very interesting facts about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Review: | This book captures an amazing true story of a man who was used as a spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War who is returned to slavery after he is no longer needed. The book tells an incredible story of bravery and inspiration. I found parts of this story to be truly heartbreaking, and feel that students would enjoy this book.
Teaching Points: I could use this when teaching the American Revolution as well as Slavery.
