Reviews for Through My Eyes

[juju1220 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved this book! A story about integration in the south and the strength and courage that little Ruby Bridges had to wake up each morning and attend an all white school. The book provided actual interviews from her family, teachers and presidents about integrations in the south public schools. I enjoyed learning about the facts that surrounded this turmoil in the 60's. This would be a great addition to include with curriculum about the civil rights movement in the US.

This story recounts the events of Ruby Bridges integrated Frantz Elementary school in the 1960s, but the fact that it is written by Ruby Bridges herself gives the story more validity. The story is a bit long and better suited for students who are more aware of what was going on at the time. I love this book. Great to use as a history lesson.

This book gives students a chance to see the Civil Rights movement through the eyes of a child. It gives factual information in an interesting way.

WOW!! Book showing from the innocent eyes of a child. As the war of prejudice and education swirled around her she only saw "i'm going to learn". Students can be taught from this book no matter what goes around you, you have to keep pushing through the madness. Ruby Bridges set the bar for integrated schools in New Orleans!!!

The author’s purpose to write this book, was because she wanted to write her story about the School Integration for African American kids in the 1960’s and 1950’s. Bridges lived in the civil right Movement and she wanted to tell her perspective of what she went through. She was just six years old, but she still has memories and feelings that could never forget.

This book is written by Ruby Bridges and tells of her experiences with integration. There are sections written by others who took part in that very important part of American history. There are many pictures and newspaper articles from that time as well.

Great historical look at the Ruby Bridges story, told from her point of view, and with follow-up on her now. Great photographs!

This is a fantastic book to emphasize the significance of education and modern struggle to remain equal.

Brave family to put their child in such a difficult situation. The family had tobear a lot of injustice for justice. Thankful there are families that would stand up for what is right.

[heidijones · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was an interesting read. I liked that it was more of a memory book than a "story book". My students thought it was very interesting, and couldn't believe that "it actually happened?". The photos are great, and it was a unique perspective to read from. The students were in awe of the photo of Ruby with the Federal Marshalls. They found her story even more powerful, since it was told in first person.

This is the story of a brave little girl that pioneered integration in a whites only school in the south. Students will learn about prejudice and segregation and then through the eyes of this little girl, they will see what it took to make a change. What a gift Ruby gives us, showing us what it felt like to do this, showing us the photos that make it real, and letting us know the little girl that lived through it all.

[ktibbs_4 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a wonderful book told from the first person point of view of Ruby Bridges herself, the first girl to integrate into a white school. The power of this book is that it is written in Ruby's own words with her own memories, most of which are very innocent and misunderstanding of what is going on around her. The book has excellent real photographs of the events as well.
