About The Book

A fascinating look at civil rights through a child’s eyes from the illustrator of the bestselling book, Thank You, Sarah!.

A poignant picture book which takes place in the civil rights era and focuses on two children who, in their innocence about the things around them, mistake “colored” in a colored water sign for something wonderful.
