“Be loving enough to absorb evil.“
The illustrations portrayed in this story was amazing as well as I love how they added a bunch of powerful quotes throughout the pages.
pickSit-In: How four friends stood up by sitting down by Andrea Pinkney published in 2010 was such a great read. This story was about segregation and the people who contributed to end it. David, Joseph, Franklin and Ezell refused to get out of their seats at the lunch counter when an officer scolded at them too. Whites only were only allowed to be served so these kids protested and soon protests went around the whole world. They held MLKJ words close.
The amazing #brianpinkney signing my copy of the tagged book. His illustrations leave me breathless. #pplbookfest #librariansoflitsy #teachersoflitsy #raisingreaders
pickOn February 1, 1960 four black students defied the "Whites Only" sign at the restaurant in Woolworth's department store and began an important movement in the Civil Rights Movement.
This was a beautiful story. Highlighting Dr King's words throughout, this is an excellent book for grade schoolers to show specific examples of how people turned his words to actions.
