Career Day is approaching, and Annie can't wait to show her family
what she's planning to be when she grows up. But, she must keep it
a secret until Friday! So curious family members each ask Annie for
a clue. Convinced that she'll be a news reporter like he once was,
her grandfather gives her his old camera and notebook to use for
her presentation. Her grandmother is sure Annie wants to be a
champion baker like her, so she offers a mixing bowl and oven
gloves to Annie. Hopeful she'll become the mountain climber he
aspired to be so her father gives Annie an old backpack. Her mother
presents Annie with a pair of high-top trainers to pursue her
favourite sport at school-basketball. Grateful for each gift, Annie
cleverly finds a way to use them all to create her Career Day
costume. When the big day arrives, Annie finally reveals her
out-of-this-world dream to everyone. * To watch astronaut Anne

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.
