Jenn M. - I hope to have a review of Henry's Freedom Box up this weekend. I've already checked it out of the library and read it. It was WONDERFUL!

I just got my inner 8 year-old all excited because my scholastic book order arrived. I even had to write about it on my blog. Okay, getting off topic...no not like me at all...in my box, I had the book <i>Henry's Freedom Box</i>. We read it tonight and it is fantastic. It had my 7 year-old very intrigued and angry at the injustices poor Henry faces. Check it out for your reading topic this month. It won a Caldecott, so I think most libraries would have it.

I love the story of Ruby Bridges. I too find it interesting when books have discrepancies about the same event - especially when they are written by people who close to the story.
