I really loved Lynda Blackmon Lowery’s story. As a junior high librarian, this book is a wonderful pairing to John Lewis’ March for middle grade - junior high students to read about the March for Civil Rights from multiple perspectives, this one being from someone who was their age when she marched! Her story was inspiring and her message of being a history-maker would’ve resonated with me as a younger reader (as I hope it does with our younger readers today!). Highly recommend especially where civil rights and equality are topics of discussion in curriculum — this is a valuable perspective that should have a seat at the table among other civil rights greats!
