The Library Minute with Bella

Avon students love their school libraries. In each issue of Oriole Blast, we feature a book review by an Avon student. Maybe they'll get you hooked on a book.

My name is Bella, and I'm a student at Pine Tree Elementary. This is my review of She Persisted: Ruby Bridges by Kekla Magoon.

In She Persisted: Ruby Bridges, Ruby has to deal with segregation while growing up and in school. This book explains Ruby's hard journey through integration while in school and how Ruby changed the world.

I liked this story because Ruby proved that you don't have to be a big person to make a big difference in the world.

If your child is inspired to check out this recommendation, they may get it from their school library, by visiting our friends at the Avon-Washington Township Public Library or by picking up a copy online.
