The story of Ruby Bridges
By: Robert Coles
Illustrated By: George Ford
Genre: Nonfiction
I fell in love with this story from page one, when the reader opens the book immediately to a note for the reader from Ruby's mother. This story tells the experiences and hardships of one of the first African American girls to be given legal permission to be integrated into white schools. It includes input from her teacher as part of the storyline. This story is told wonderfully and it would be a treasure to any classroom bookshelf.
