Two young girls not only witness but help to change history in this
inspiring and urgent Civil Rights-era picture book by three-time Coretta
Scott King Award winner Angela Johnson.
There's a sweet, sweet smell in the air as two young girls sneak out of
their house, down the street, and across town to where men and women are
gathered, ready to march for freedom and justice.
Inspired by the countless young people who took a stand against the
forces of injustice, two Coretta Scott King Honorees, Angela Johnson and
Eric Velasquez, offer a stirring yet jubilant glimpse of the youth
involvement that played an invaluable role in the Civil Rights movement.
