“He was one of the first Black Americans to challenge a segregation law in court. And he won. Jack made history that day. But it wasn‘t the last time Jack would do that.”
I would use this book with older elementary students to tell the story of Jackie Robinson. Being such a famous athletic figure, some students may already know of his accomplishments in the sports world. However, like myself, I was unaware of his fights for freedom and equality during his time in the army. He went to court to stand up for himself against the US and won! His bravery and talents can provide powerful and inspiring messages to students

“ But just because the army gave an order didn't mean that everyone respected it. Jack would soon learn that first hand“
The book would be great to use with students ranging from first to fifth grade. It could be used for an autobiography report on Jackie Robinson's life.
