Description
In the desegregation era of the 1970s, a first grader copes with being bused to a white school in this story for young children about racism and an essential time of change. ยฟOne of the Ten Best Books of the Year,ยฟ The New York Times.
Brewster is excited about starting first grade . . . until Mama announces that he'll be attending Central, a school in the white part of town. Mama says they have art and music and a library bursting with books, but Brewster isnยฟt so sure heยฟll fit in.
And heยฟs right. Being black at a white school isn't easy. Brewster winds up spending his first day in detention at the library. But there he meets a very special person: Miss OยฟGrady. The librarian sees into Brewsterยฟs heart and gives him not only the gift of books but also encourages Brewster to believe in himself.
This is an invaluable, unique, view into a tumultous time and the good that came into the lives of school children.
