When I picked this up, I was expecting more of the event from the author's eyes. It pretty much only told the facts that I already knew, in a way a child could understand. I'll have to look more to see if there is another book by the author, written for an older person.

Read this to my kids today. It is a great book to explain the evils of legally-mandated segregation and how recent it was, and a good introduction to explaining how and why extra-legal segregation persists.

Previewing books to read to kindergarten to second graders about Ruby Bridges; this book was written by Ruby and tells her story well for this age group. Loved that the images in the book are actual images from when she attempted to integrate the neighborhood school.
