“Our march made the difference. We children led the way.“ This quote highlights the children who participated in pushing the civil rights movement forward.

I would use this book when teaching about civil rights movements.

Historical fiction - Published in 2018. Throughout Let the Children March, the author emphasizes the power of nonviolent resistance and the courage of the young participants. The children's march is portrayed as a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, demonstrating the potential of ordinary citizens, even children, to effect change.

This is a historical fiction story that focuses on the contributions of children to the Birmingham Children‘s Crusade of 1963. This story talks about how when people stand together, they can make a difference. It is an inspiring story about standing up for what is right and persevering in the face of trials and hardships. This is a story I would definitely like to include in my classroom.

Every child has a voice to change the world. This stood out to me in the Coretta Scott King Award-winning book, “Let the Children March” by Monica Clark-Robinson, illustrated by Frank Morrison. This is an great HF book for a RA and in a social studies lesson regarding the civil rights movement. This book takes place in Birmingham (1960s) after MLK‘s speech, where brave children marched fighting for their civil rights. #ucflae3414su20

Another great picture book telling another chapter in the Civil Rights movement and empowering young people to make their voices heard and lead the way.

Another part of history that I knew nothing about. I had no idea that black children marched for days in May 1963 to get equal rights. This book was full of information. These children protested most of them under the age of 18. Most of them sent to jail for days. I just can‘t imagine. I feel like this book is a very important read! I am so glad that these children stood up for their rights and for others to come!

“I couldn‘t play on the same playground as the white kids.”

I will read this to my class to discuss the civilians who marched with Martin Luther King to stand up for African American rights!

“Let the Children March” was written by Monica Clark-Robinson in 2018. This wonderful nonfiction is about a young African American girl and her brother who decide to march with Martin Luther King Jr. in a peaceful protest. I really enjoyed this story overall.

“we children led the way“

my favorite part was when they were all locked up In a jail cell way too small but they still did not give up they began to sing a song about equality

this was a great book. I think the way it was worded and the illustrations make it a great book for children to learn about segregation

Let the Children March is an inspiring story written by Monica Clark-Robinson and won the award of Corretta Scott King. Could be a great read on MLK Jr. day to bring awareness for the kids on how we might've obtained the diversity we see today. Through the journey the kids take us on, we get an inside look of how things in history used to be.

Inspiring story about children leading the way to equality when the parents couldn't. Found it interesting to see the story being told from a child's perspective!

Let the Children March is a heartbreaking while inspiring story based on the true events from the 1960s! Monica Clark-Robinson does a wonderful job of showing the pride and confidence of those children who marched so long ago. Have student read this HF during a lesson on segregation or during Black History Month! Introduce them to this Coretta Scott King winning book through a RA! #LAE3414sp19

Sadly, some kids went to jail for a little, but they were able to make a big difference in their community. Let the Children March can be read on a
