Beautifully told and written in a way that even children understand the message behind Ruby's story. Absolutely perfect!

READ BY RUBY BRIDGES!
This was a short read but a good one.
It's hard to believe that this wasn't that long ago that it can still be narrated by Ruby. This book got me thinking and hoping.

I've heard of ruby bridges but only briefly. I'd like to learn more. This book is very honest, inspiring, and hopeful for a future beyond discrimination. The author mentions that racism is a grown-up disease and I very much agree. We can do so much better

It really wasn't very long ago and there's so much more yet to do, hopeful for the future but sad for the past.
Scary to think that some of those barbarians protesting against the end of segregation could still be around sharing their backwards, uncivilised, brainless opinions.

Inspiring letter from Civil rights activist, Ruby Bridges - the little Black girl who was the first to attend a desegregated school in 1960 New Orleans. So sad to hear that one of her four sons was killed by violence. She speaks to the progress that’s been made as well as the great need for more changes. I love that she goes around sharing her stories to middle school kids across America. A very motivational woman and book!

This is a... complex book. Very beautifully and thoughtfully written and paired with illustrations. An unfortunately necessary perspective.
