Meet Miss Fancy by Irene Latham

4.0

Set in Birmingham, AL in the early 1900s, Meet Miss Fancy tells the story of Frank, a black boy who is fascinated by elephants. When the local park gets an elephant, Frank is excited to finally see an elephant in real life, except the park has signs saying "No Colored Allowed". Frank starts a petition to request that his church be allowed to hold a picnic in the park. Frank perseveres with his wish to meet Miss Fancy.

This book led to some great discussion with my 5 year old about discrimination and its history in America.
