Claudette Colvin

I really enjoyed this book and was touched by all of the hardships and trials the people had to go through. I of course teach about some of the Civil Rights, but in second grade we do not get too in depth. I thought this book made it personal and not so big. The first page is shocking and really hooked me for the book. That is the perfect example of a great beginning for me. I was feeling her pain and grieving with her. I too felt that some information was missing and wanted to know more. Her story is an interesting one and I am thankful for the reporter digging into old articles and found her. What a great addition to all of the widely know information.
