1: Awesome book!
My daughter has to research anyone in American history. She picked Ruby Bridges and I am so glad she did! She was an amazing girl and an inspiration to us all! I can't wait to see the movie and hope it is as good as the book.

2: Ruby Bridges
I found this to be a good book for children to learn how life used to be for others who wanted to go to school and were told the could not.
I think if parents want their children to know about the past they should encourage them to read this book and another book called Through my eyes also about Ruby Bridges.
I am in my forty's and was very inlightened by this story and the other book also.

3: Ruby Bridges
This book was great for my unit I taught in class and came to me in good condition.

4: Ruby's story
Ruby Bridges' story is a story that teaches children to be couragoeus, and how a little girl got her education regardless of difficulties. It is a great book to let children learn that segregation is not right.

5: A Story of a Heroine and Her Family, Told by Someone Who Was There
This book is a gem. The story is beautifully told in a manner that the reader imagines him- or herself right there, in New Orleans, Louisiana, 1957. The author, Robert Coles, is a highly respected child psychiatrist and the author of many, many books. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his "Children of Crisis" series; in fact, in the first book, "A Study of Courage and Fear," Dr. Coles describes in great detail the time he spent with a 9-year-old African American girl named Ruby, along with the rest of her family. He recounted his stay in a later volume, "Lives of Moral Leadership." Dr. Coles, thus, tells us Ruby's story first hand. Dr. Coles follows up with an Afterword about Ruby Bridges, both as a girl and an adult. George Ford's illustrations complement the text beautifully; his artwork has graced many other books about prominent African Americans and have earned him at least two prestigeous awards. Both the author and the illustrator bring young readers of all ages a beautiful, sensitive portrayal of a remarkable event and equally remarkable person.
