It was a sad story about Ruby Bridges being the only and first black girl who went to a school for all white people.

Easy to read

Amazing so far

I enjoyed reading the book, however having seen the movie first made it a little challenging. I liked that the book expanded on the other siblings. Very good interesting story either way.

I enjoyed learning about the clouded leopard

Couldn't stop reading!!

From the perspective of a therapist, I appreciate the truth behind how others view mental health. I appreciate her bringing it out into the open for others to see that mental health concerns are everywhere and not something to ignore or try to hide. Well written and enjoyable

The dogs get into stuff and get dirty but then they take a bath. I can read this by myself.

As a remarried mom I really sunk into this book I feel like I could relate really well.
