Richard Wright and the Library Card

GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE CHILDREN IN GRADES 3 - 5 TO THIS RENOWN AFRICAN AMERICAN WRITER. BOOK EMPHASIZES RICHARD WRIGHT'S LOVE FOR READING AND WHAT HE WAS WILLING TO DO TO GET A BOOK IN HIS HANDS. IT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS HOW ONE WHITE MAN SACRIFICED TO ENSURE RICHARD'S ACADEMIC GROWTH AS WELL.

My second-grade students loved it!

This books kicks ass.

You must discuss authors tone with this at the end its clear the author is white and he throws lines in to get the reader to sympathize with other white people who have been "discriminated " against it was weird

Wonderful story for literary nonfiction

Nice addition to my Richard Wright shelf. The amazing part are the illustrations. They are masterpieces I would love to add to my art collection.

one of my favorite children's books.

This book was read by all my children
