Product Description

▼▲

There’s a place in ‘Tricia Ann’s southern town where all are welcome, no matter what their skin color. To her, it’s someplace special and she’s bursting to go by herself. But when ‘Tricia Ann catches the bus heading downtown, unlike the white passengers, she must sit in the back behind the Jim Crow sign and wonder why life’s so unfair. Through moving prose and beautiful watercolors, a Coretta Scott King Award and Caldecott Medal–winning author-illustrator duo collaborate to tell the poignant tale of a spirited young girl who comes face to face with 1950s segregation in her town. 40 pages, softcover. Ages 5 and up.
