Meet Ruby Bridges

Fact-filled Rookie Read-About Biographies introduce the youngest readers to influential women and men, both past and present.

At just six year old, this courageous child stood up against racism and hatred to help integrate Louisiana's school system. Her story continues to inspire people of all ages.
