In the early days of the civil rights movement, a young girl’s world is changed when she witnesses the courage of people who refuse to accept segregation. As sit-ins spread and ordinary citizens take extraordinary risks, she learns how peaceful protest, community support, and moral conviction can challenge unjust laws. Told with immediacy and heart, this story highlights the power of youth, the importance of standing together, and the long, hard work required to bring about change. Andrea Davis Pinkney’s lyrical, accessible storytelling brings history to life, honoring the determination and dignity of those who helped reshape America.
