This is the story of a brave six-year-old girl who entered a whites-only school alone in 1960. The white parents withdrew their kids and, sustained by family and faith, Ruby Bridges sat alone with her teacher in an empty classroom in an empty building and learned her lessons. The heroic story is told simply, and the beautiful watercolor paintings capture the warmth of Ruby's community, the immense powers against her, and her shining inner strength. 32 pages. Paperback. Approximately 10"x8". Age 4-9
