My mom read Tom Sawyer aloud to us kids when we were young and to be honest I loved it.
I always get a sentimental feeling when I think of those days. .

What book makes you all mushy inside?

Bookaholicforlife I also have the green Owlcrate cover but I have seen the black one. I prefer the Green one cause it reminds me of the Tales From the Hinterland book that is described and makes me feel like I‘m reading that. 7y

acepages I really like all of them but I have the blue cover coming soon and I think I'll love the blue cover. 7y

Linsy I think I really prefer the black one. It makes the illustrations pop out! 🖤 7y

When you entered my life... It's as if you planted the first seed that survived past the dry soil of my heart, and from my tattered haunted soul... You grew the most beautiful tree I've ever known.

I thought my book shelves could use a little touch of green 📗

An anthology collecting a few of my favorite authors telling short stories highlighting some of their...less than heroic characters. I guess we can't all be good guys.

Some of the stories were really good. Some fell flat.

2.5/3 ⭐'s out of 5.

Ruth and the Green Book | Calvin Alexander Ramsey, Gwen Strauss

pick

"The Negro Motorist Green Book" came to mind while reading Book One of "March." Ruth and her parents drive from Chicago to Alabama to visit her grandmother. After refusals of lodging and toilet facilities, they learn about the Green Book; and their trip becomes more pleasant. I learned of the Green Book's existence years ago while reading "The Souls of Black Folk." Numbered captions in comments below.

Donna_sBookMinute BLURB FROM SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "This is an important addition to picture book collections, useful as a discussion-starter on Civil Rights or as a stand-alone story." 8y

Foxyfictionista It's shocking to me that this exists. I wish we had been taught more about this stuff in school. My civil rights education was brief and highly sanitized with the implication that everything was solved. I think that if these things were taught in school, white people would be less likely to deny that racial issues still exist. I'm a naturally curious person so I eventually figured it out but a lot of people are happy to live in their bubbles. 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @Foxyfictionista -- What you've described is called "whitewashing"; and has been the m.o. of White Supremacy for centuries. And you're right. It takes curiosity and critical thinking to get -- beyond what the system wants us to believe -- to the honest truth. It's there. And as with all treasure, you just have to dig for it. (edited) 8y

ReadingSusan I only learned about the Green Book a few years ago in a podcast. Whitewashing is definitely a huge problem especially in the South. 8y

Lindy @ReadingSusan I learned about it in a podcast also. And then came across it mentioned in

We Love You, Charlie Freeman

intothehallofbooks I learned of the Green Book a couple of months ago when I read about it in an essay or article from, I think, the History Channel. I was so angry and horrified that I had never heard of it before, but sadly I was also not surprised because of growing up and being educated in the rural South. I sent the article to my husband who was at work at the time, who also had never heard of it. 8y

RealLifeReading @Lindy oh yes! I was wondering where I had seen the Green Book mentioned before and then I saw your comment. And now I remember it in We Love You, Charlie Freeman 8y

Donna_sBookMinute 👉🏽 @ReadingSusan and @intothehallofbooks -- Yes, I came across a lot on The Green Book online, even podcasts. And The History Channel is a great source. 8y

Donna_sBookMinute ?? @Lindy and @RealLifeReading -- I'm not sure I'll read "We Love You Charlie Freeman." On the surface, the whole idea of an experiment that associates the Freemans with a monkey just doesn't set right with me. I might look a little further into it. 8y
