Let the Children March de Monica Clark-Robinson
From Kirkus: "A powerful retrospective glimpse at a key event (the Birmingham Children's Crusade)."
Loved the emotive oil paintings of Frank Morrison. It brought this powerful and inspirational story about civil rights movement and the children's crusade to life.
This powerful rhyming poem honors influential women who have changed history and inspires young girls to impact the future. The text of this book is fairly simple and seems to appeal to 2nd and 3rd graders. The book itself does not explain what specific impacts any of these women have made, but references them in the illustrations. While this is a beautiful book with impactful words, the readers it appeals to likely would not recognize the figures represented or know their impacts without further teaching or explanation.… (mais)
(Coretta Scott King Honor Award) The story takes place in 1963 in Birmingham Alabama where students of color describe their struggles with segregation. Children and their parents attend a meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. where they are discussing their next protest which will be led by children since their parents would expect backlash from their jobs. The children lead the march to success despite obstacles from police.
