Description
Ruby Bridges' story of courage and hope is told in this powerful narrative, illustrated by George Ford. In 1960, six-year-old Ruby was ordered to attend first grade at William Frantz Elementary, an all-white school, despite the anger and resistance from parents who refused to send their children to school with her.
With a judge's order, Ruby must face the challenges of integration in a new city, Mississippi-born family, and a school system that is resistant to change. This special 50th anniversary edition features an updated afterword, bringing Ruby's story up to date for a new generation.
A powerful and moving account of one child's bravery, this book is a testament to the enduring power of faith and hope in the face of adversity.
