“The truest thing that we have in this country at this time is little children.“

I would definitely read this book in an older classroom setting. It has very dark topics but written in a beautiful way where you can feel the emotion.

This biography is about a woman named Fannie Lou Hamer and her struggles of slavery. Although this story covers dark topics, it highlights the importance of equality for everyone. Equality is an important thing and this book could be moving to read for young readers.

“Our march made the difference. We children led the way.“ This quote highlights the children who participated in pushing the civil rights movement forward.

I would use this book when teaching about civil rights movements.

Historical fiction - Published in 2018. Throughout Let the Children March, the author emphasizes the power of nonviolent resistance and the courage of the young participants. The children's march is portrayed as a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, demonstrating the potential of ordinary citizens, even children, to effect change.

“But I'm also proof that there's no such thing as an ordinary person.“

This book will teach young girls to be brave and strong just Rosa Parks when faced will hard challenges.

This was a great book to learn about influential people during black history month. It has cute pictures and illustrations. There's also great videos online of the author reading this story with cartoon illustrations!
