Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice
Nonfiction · ages 10–14 · 820L · 2010
The book that should be taught instead of (or alongside) Rosa Parks—immediate, deeply researched, and co-authored with Claudette herself, making it both historically authoritative and emotionally resonant for kids discovering real people with real moral agency.
We Were There Too! Young People in U.S. History
Nonfiction · ages 10–14 · 820L
A radically honest U.S. history that puts young people—enslaved, working, fighting, resisting—at the center; the prose is vivid enough to hold a 10-year-old, rigorous enough to matter.
