This Is Your Time
by Ruby Bridges
I chose this book to read first as we start a new year, 2021. I wanted something to give me hope yet rooted not in rose-colored glasses, but in the reality of the human condition. I was not disappointed.
The straightforward and yet emotional text coupled with photos of the times and story bring the injustice and conflict alive. It becomes clear what needed to change, what was changed and what is left to change.
As I read the book and observed the photographs, I began to wonder if we could use this as a schoolwide observation of MLK Day or the beginning of Black History Month, Feb. 1. Then I remembered Feb 3 is World Read Aloud Day. This book has my creative juices rolling.
