What a beautiful book!
I knew about a black girl who was the first child ordered by a federal judge to be allowed to go to a school that had previously been only for all white children. I didn't know any more of that story so I decided to read this book when I came across it. It's a story that brought me to tears.
This young child, Ruby Bridges, had to endure not only heckling by an angry crowd and be accompanied to school by federal marshals, but the first year of class she was in an empty classroom with her teacher and in an empty school because white families would not send their children to the same school until a year later when they realized their own children were being cheated out of an education.
This book stresses the importance of religion in the life of Ruby Bridges and how it helped her to cope with a situation you would never want a first-grader to endure. I think this is a wonderful book to stress good values whether or not one's own family is religious. It's about what is fair.
