Kids Books - States

I like this book Color me dark because it is about a girl who lives in 1919 and has to deal with segregation. Boys and girls bully her and she moves to Chicago. Read the book to find out what happens to her in the city of Chicago.

This story shares all of the places that are lived on this family farm in Wyoming. (I'm guessing it is Wyoming, since that is where the author was born.) We talked about all the places that we love, and wrote about them in our writer's notebook.

Much about life in the South didn't change for African Americans after the Civil War. They moved to northern cities for freedom, a new life for their children, and jobs. Did they find what they were looking for?

Amazing I love the characters and how well they are at using there emotions. There is many plots happening in the story so look out for them. Great book!
