Scholastic Reader Level 2: Ruby Bridges Goes to School: My True Story: My True Story by Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges same story as Through My Eyes but told in a much simpler way for kids to read on their own. She tells it straight for kids to understand what happened, why it was awful and that we should never let it happen again.

An autobiography of Ruby Bridges suitable for ages 4 to 8. Accurate yet age-appropriate with wonderful black and white photographs.

A simple book on segregation and the little six year old brought integration. Wonderful lessons for little and old people alike.

The perfect little book to teach my preschoolers about segregation and Black History Month.

To be honest, the only reason I read this book was to see if I could come to even the most minute understanding of why a group in Tennessee would pull the book from schools. It's appropriate for grades 1 and 2, and it's just an accounting of the facts with little emotion shared. There wasn't even any shame directed at the townsfolk, especially the parents, who were most harmful in the situation.
It still takes me off guard whenever I'm reminded that Ruby Bridges is just two years older than my parents. They never discuss segregation in schools because they just missed it. Bridges walked so parents like mine could actually meet in the same school.
