Really powerful and beautifully illustrated book about Black history from a young Black girl's perspective, specifically the horrific Jim Crow laws and the creation of the Green Book. I knew beforehand what the Green Book was and how it helped Black travellers in the US, but I had no idea it was used in Canada, Bermuda, and Mexico too! 

Avoid the whitewashed movie and read this!
