In the 1950s ‘Tricia Ann knows of a place in her southern town where all are welcome, no matter what their skin color, and she knows exactly how to get there. To her, it’s someplace special and she’s bursting to go by herself. But when she catches the bus heading downtown, unlike the white passengers, she must sit in the back behind the Jim Crow sign and wonder why life is so unfair. Still, for each hurtful sign seen and painful comment heard, there’s a friend around the corner reminding ’Tricia Ann that she’s not alone. And her grandmother’s words, “You are somebody, a human being, no better, no worse than anybody else in this world,” echo in her mind, lifting her spirits and pushing her forward. 40 pages, hardcover. Ages 5 to 8.
