If You Were a Kid During the Civil Rights Movement by Kelly Kennedy, Gwendolyn Hooks

ameyawarde's review against another edition

5.0

This was an excellent book for my 7 year old. It was upsetting, but important. We've talked about all the issues in here before, but this format really just tied it together for him. I very much appreciate having an book that talks about the heavy things in an age appropriate manner without glossing over the the fact that very awful things did, and do, happen. We had a particularly emotional conversation about the photograph of the police officers attacking the peaceful black protestor on the Capitol steps.

Offers both a story and fact boxes to help break down the civil rights movement. Excellent resource for kids!
