“WHITE WATER is a wonderful way to give children an American history lesson.” —– Bill Cosby — Quote
“From the seating on the bus to the two water fountains this book is a good look at the segregated South. Strickland’s illustrations compliment the text beautifully with a commitment to detail. This is an excellent title to be used for African-American history month Civil Rights curriculum and as a read-aloud for younger students.”
