ABC Readers Book of the Month: Ruby Bridges: Goes to School / This is your time

This month, we will be reading the third book in the Champion year. There are two different books - based on grade level. 

Ruby Bridges: Goes to School is the extraordinary story of Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate a New Orleans school. In 1960, six-year old Ruby Bridges walked through an angry crowd and into school, changing history. 

In the book, "Ruby Bridges: This is Your Time", civil rights leader Ruby Bridges writes a letter to the reader recounting her experiences as a child being escorted to class by federal marshals to integrate the all-white public school system.

These books tell the story of Ruby’s courage and remind us all that the struggle for justice continues. Through these books, kids learn relationship skills, the ability to establish and maintain healthy and supportive relationships and to effectively navigate settings with diverse individuals and groups.
