Sinopsis

With illustrator KaArie Gillis, authors Marti Rosner and Frye Gaillard share with young readers one of the most inspirational stories in American philanthropy. In the early years of the 20th century, Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck & Co., worked with educator Booker T. Washington and grassroots leaders across the South to build more than 5,000 schools for African American children. Graduates of these life-changing institutions include Maya Angelou, John Lewis, and Pulitzer Prize winners Eugene Robinson and Cynthia Tucker. After multiple interviews and extensive research, Rosner and Gaillard tell the story through the eager questions of Ezra, a curious little boy inspired by Rosner’s own mixed race grandchildren. The result is an accessible, easy to read account - a history of hope in a difficult time that should not be forgotten.

“As a graduate of a Rosenwald elementary school, I am delighted that this important piece of history has been captured in a lively, engaging and beautifully illustrated story for children. Readers will be inspired not only by the generosity of a visionary philanthropist but also by the aspirations of the black Southerners who were determined to educate their children.”

Cynthia Tucker, Pulitzer Prize winning writer
