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
