Richard Wright and the Library Card

$16.95

By William Miller Illustrated by Gregory Christie

Richard loves to read. First taught to read by his mother from the newspaper, he grows to crave the chance to walk among the library stacks, explore words, and discover stories. But in the segregated South of the 1920s, Richard isn't allowed to borrow books from the library, simply because of the color of his skin.

This is the touching true story of Richard Wright's fierce determination to read and how he made his dream a reality.
