Time to board the bus! Liberty and her friend Abdullah, with their
families and a diverse group of passengers, head off to their first
stop: Jackson, Mississippi. Next on their map are Glendora,
Memphis, Birmingham, Montgomery, and finally Selma, for a march
across the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge. As told through the
innocent view of a child, Liberty's Civil Rights Road Trip serves
as an early introduction to places, people, and events that
transformed history. The story is inspired by an actual journey led
by author Michael W. Waters, bringing together a multigenerational
group to witness key locations from the civil rights movement. An
author's note and more information about each stop on Liberty's
trip offer ways for adults to expand the conversation with young
readers. A portion of the publisher's sales proceeds will be
donated to Foot Soldiers Park in Selma, Alabama, a nonprofit
dedicated to honoring the history and continued relevance of the
Selma movement.
