Youngest Marcher - The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a Young Civil Rights Activist

Zusatztext "Having honest and open discussions about race, tolerance, and acceptance from a very early age can set the stage for a much broader and deeper understanding of these issues as your child grows. Here [is a book] that can help spark these conversations.... The story of the youngest known civil rights protester in history will teach children that you’re never too small to stand up for what you believe in." Informationen zum Autor Cynthia Levinson is the author of nonfiction books for young readers that focus on social justice, including  The Youngest Marcher ,  The People’s Painter , and  Fault Lines in the Constitution . Her books have received the Sibert Medal, the Carter G. Woodson Book Award, the Jane Addams Children’s Book Award, and numerous other honors. She has two daughters, two sons-in-law, four grandchildren, and two grand-dogs—all of whom are thoroughly splendid. Cynthia and her husband divide their time between Austin and Boston, which, helpfully, rhyme, in case she gets lost.
