Dear Willie Rudd

Rating:
Summary: Children can understand the past with this book...
Review: Dear Willie Rudd, has been used in classrooms across the country as a read-aloud to help explain the way this nation has treated African Americans. Young students who learn about Dr. Martin Luther King and the work he did can appreciate this book as part of their social studies units. It is also a valuable sharing tool to learn about saying "I love you," even if it is after someone has left our lives.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: When I first heard this book, I was brought to tears. I had to have it. You do too. This book does an excellent job of explaining Jim Crowe to young children. It is a must read during Black History month. All teachers should keep a copy for your library. It should be read it again and again.
