Did not like。 Very simplified。 Glossary makes no sense。 No citations。 I think it reads very young even for a target audience of six-year-olds and it feels very sloppy to have no context or backmatter beyond notes from the author and illustrator。

I am Ruby Bridges: How one six-year-old girl’s march to school changed the world， written by Ruby Bridges & illustrated by Nikkolas Smith is beautifully done in both words and pictures。 It’s a true celebration of “the first！”

Beautiful picture book memoir written by the powerful woman， Ruby Bridges。 I am Ruby Bridges is her account of that first day of school after segregation in schools ended。 This iconic story is beautifully illustrated and brings such an important moment in history at an level that any elementary aged child can get。 A first class purchase！
