McKissack.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy has their grandmother bothered keeping a menu from a restaurant that closed years ago, a restaurant that never served very good food in the first place? Three cousins listen to Gee's own story, set in the early days of lunch counter sit-ins in Nashville, a time when a black child could sit up front in a city bus but still could not get a milk shake at a downtown restaurant. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Abby, young readers see what it was like to live through those days, and they'll come to understand that, like a menu, freedom is about having choices. Each book in this series tells the story behind a different \"scrap of time\"; together they form a patchwork quilt of one black family's past that stretches back for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"A perfect introduction to an extraordinary time when regular people, even ten-year-old girls, make a difference.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Horn Book\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"The book gives readers a kid's-eye view of important happenings and reminds them that history is something that is in the making.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n\"The book gives readers a kid's-eye view of important happenings and reminds them that history is something that is in the making.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"This accessible, lively, and heartfelt chapter book reades like a memoir and makes a perfect introduction to an extraordinary time when regular people, even ten-year-old girls, make a difference.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Horn Book\"This easy chapter book, with simple sentences, plenty of white space, and a liberal sprinkling of Gordon's expressive black-and-white drawings, is an appealing and welcome title.\" --\u003cbr\u003e\nSchool Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nGordon C.
