The Story of Ruby Bridges
Description:
“Please, God, try to forgive those people. Because even if they say those bad things, They don’t know what they’re doing.” This is the true story of an extraordinary 6-year-old who helped shape history when she became the first African-American sent to first grade in an all white school. This moving book captures the courage of a little girl standing alone in the face of racism. “Ford’s moving watercolor paintings…capture the…warmth of Ruby’s family and community, the immense powers against her, and her shining inner strength.” –Booklist The Story of Ruby Bridges Written by Robert Coles Illustrated by George Ford Source: Publisher (Scholastic)
