The book is about a little girl name Ruby Bridges who segregated an all white school in her neighborhood. This was a good book it showed the bravery of a little girl wanting a better education. Her story can teach children that anyone no matter their race is welcome to their school or any public place. Children can realize that even if you’re small in size you can make a big difference.
