Being black at a white school isn't easy, and Brewster winds up spending his first day in detention at the library. But there he meets a very special person: Miss O'Grady. The librarian sees into Brewster's heart and gives him not only the gift of books but also the ability to believe in himself.
This powerful and tender story of desegregation in the 1970s introduces readers to the brave young heroes who helped to build a new world.
A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book
A New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book
Guided by funky illustrations decidedly of the 1970s, the book highlights the potential for new friendships and greater opportunity to learn, though attentive to the personal and social consequences of forced busing for children, such as separation from friends and other familiar faces, and often a frequently hostile environment, at a critical stage in their development. Busing Brewster promotes dialogue between parents and children and provides a way in to what can be a difficult topic to approach with young children. An author's note at the end examines the story in the larger context of American history and civil rights, and has been updated to reflect on events that have transpired since its original publication in 2010.
