Recenzii
An important exploration of the struggle for equality and education in this country.
With Lewis's stirring watercolors that astutely capture the emotion of history, this book is an eloquent, inspiring reminder that "the march toward justice is a long, twisting journey."
An excellent and careful telling of a lesser-known landmark case in the Civil Rights movement . . . E.B. Lewis' watercolors add to the story and help readers feel the resolve and confidence of the people involved . . . would certainly add to a discussion on civil rights with older students and help them understand that there were many players in the civil rights journey and that each step was built upon the past. Highly Recommended.
Goodman's real achievement here, though, is in the end matter, in which she not only expands on the lives of the major players but also talks at length of her research process and the educated guesses she made to fill in Sarah's reactions. Although the first impulse will be to put this story to curricular use in civil rights units, this could be of excellent service as an investigation into how a history book gets written.
A stirring and inspiring story, this one is an excellent addition to classroom and library bookshelves.
