Sylvia Mendez and Her Family's Fight for Desegregation (Jane Addams Award Book (Awards))

We used this book for homeschool study of American History. It was engaging and informative, giving historical context through the eyes of ten year old Sylvia Mendez and her experiences. I was very impressed with this book, and gratified to have such an excellent resource for our classroom!

I cannot tell you much about the story. I obtained this book as an e-version for my Kindle Fire. However, the book downloaded with teeny, tiny print-too small for me to read. The settings bar did not download with the book, so I was not able to make the font size larger. Also, there was no built-in tap and zoom feature as is sometimes found with picture books in e-format. I could only look at the illustrations. It was disappointing not to be able to read the story.- It is worth telling, reading about. This e-book version was not accessible to the visually challenged. Children would find it very disappointing. If you can't discern the letters, how can you read it aloud to children? I think the e-book version was a dis-service to the author.
