By Ruby Bridges ● Pictures by Nikkolas Smith
Ruby Bridges was small enough to be in first grade, but the walk she took to school became part of history. In I Am Ruby Bridges, Ruby tells her story from the point of view of her six-year-old self, remembering the day she became the first Black child to integrate William Frantz Elementary in Louisiana. This poetic picture book helps you see a major Civil Rights Movement moment through a child’s eyes. Ruby’s voice is gentle and brave, and Nikkolas Smith’s powerful illustrations add feeling and depth to each page. For young readers learning about fairness, courage, and history, this is a clear and moving introduction to Ruby Bridges and the path she helped open for others.
