In this Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, Paula Young Shelton, daughter of Civil Rights activist Andrew Young, brings a child’s unique perspective to an important chapter in America’s history. Paula grew up in the deep south, in a world where whites had and blacks did not. With an activist father and a community of leaders surrounding her, including Uncle Martin (Martin Luther King), Paula watched and listened to the struggles, eventually joining with her family—and thousands of others—in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery. Poignant, moving, and hopeful, this is an intimate look at the birth of the Civil Rights Movement.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...HESE are the lessons I would learn, Not how to climb above all men, Not how the greatest sums to earn, Not how to wield a master pen; But I would learn how I can be A little kinder than before, How I can live more patiently And help my friends a little more. And I would learn to better show My gratitude for favors had, To see more of the good below And less of what I think is bad. To live not always in the day To come, and count the joys to be, But to remember, as I stray, The past and what it brought to me. To judge my life, not from today, Nor what tomorrow it may mean, But from each footstep of the way And from each pleasure that has been, Remembering in each present woe The love and laughter I have known; And to be grateful as I go, For joys that once I called my own. These are lessons I would learn: To be as brave in grief and care As I am when it is my turn To tread the road where all is fair. More grateful I would learn to be For what has been, as on I tread, And to press forward cheerfully. Content to face what lies ahead. One-Sided Faith XKNOW the rose will bloom again As soon as it is June, The robin will return by then To sing his merry tune. I know the wintry cold will pass, The gray clouds change to blue, But I think my present woe, alas! Must last my whole life through. I view my little garden bare And smile from day to day, I know the green will glisten there As soon as it is May. I face the winter, brave of heart, I know that it will go, But every little ache and smart Sets me to grieving so. If I can view the winter's snow, My garden desolate And smile, because right well I know If I will only wait The days of spring will soon return, And bring me back the rose, Have I not wit enough to learn That time will cure my woes?...

Many of us struggle to understand and receive food as a natural gift from God. Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview the supernatural gift of God's grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share.

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Have you ever heard this saying? Before we get a chance to say a word, our gestures and manners have already spoken for us. Though some of the rules of good manners change, others remain constant. This book is about the constants: the least you need to know to make a good first impression. As Clarence Thomas once said, "Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." Use this book as a master key to open those doors.
