Overview

When Sue is in town with her mom, she sees the most beautiful dress that she has ever laid eyes upon, sitting proudly in a shop window, and with her birthday coming up she sets her heart on it. But there's a problem. A sign on the door means that Sue's mom can't enter the shop to buy her daughter the dress, all because of the color of their skin. In the 1950's black Americans faced a range of discriminatory measures which prevented them from using some public services, eating in café's and restaurants and even entering some shops. Faced with this sort of blatant prejudice, will Sue get the dress she wants for her birthday? Or will it be a day of disappointment for her? Read on and see how Sue's big day turns out.

Author Information

Kimberly Jones is a professional early childhood educator. Jones was born in the small town of Saint George, South Carolina, on September 12, 1982. She graduated from Woodland High School in 2000, Benedict College in 2004 with a bachelors of science in child and family development, and from Ashford University in 2013 with a master's in early childhood education. After receiving her education, she held several jobs as a preschool teacher and preschool director, but she wanted to put her education to use by writing children's books. She began to write children's books about slavery. She came across an article that explained how teachers could not implement such books into their lessons because the pictures were too violent. So, she decided to come up with fiction children's books that could be implemented in lessons, read in classrooms, and read at home by parents to their younger children.
