A review by bookgirl4ever
The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles

5.0

Ruby Bridges was a in first grade when she was given the opportunity to attend an all white school. Unfortunately she had to walk to school accompanied by armed U.S. Marshalls and brave the mob protesting desegregation on the grounds of the school every day for almost the entire school year. White parents refused to allow their children to attend the school with a black girl, so Ruby was the only student in her class. Ruby's courage is illustrated in this beautiful story. I'm truly amazed at her strength at six years old. What a good example for young people.

1st - 3rd grades.
