In this true story, Paula Young Shelton tells the story of racial injustice through her eyes as a child. In the days of segregation, Paula Young Shelton and her family moved from the north back to the south to march for all African American's right to vote. Through perseverance, the laws were changed allowing African Americans to vote. This is proof that if we can all come together, no matter race or gender, we can accomplish anything and make changes for the better.
This was a great read! I enjoyed learning about this young girl's personal experiences during the civil rights movement. It was really interesting seeing her point of view while history was going on around her. The pictures used are great and made me feel like I was looking through her photo album.
This book is great for any lesson on the Civil Rights Movement. The language gives a clear and detailed view of what happened without being too much for children. I like that the book is broken into sections. It really helps to see the transitions and stages of the movement. I also like that the book included Dr.King seeing that he was an important part of the movement. My favorite part is that it is written from a child’s perspective, I think it’ll help students relate to what it felt like to be a child in that time period.… (altro)
