The Youngest Marcher: The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a Young Civil Rights Activist

Wonderful book. I love books about history. Especially about those who were at the forefront of historical changes, but may not be remembered as well for one reason or another. This book helps us remember Audrey, her sacrifice and her importance in ending southern segregation. Featuring beautiful illustrations by Vanessa Brantley Newton, this is a great book for kids of any age. As a bonus, there is a recipe for "Hot rolls baptized in butter" included. I can't wait to try!

I felt like this was an excellent book while teaching my 4 year old of the world. I did have to explain bits to her but overall the visuals really got her mind thinking about how “not nice” it is to act certain ways. The main character is spunky which keeps the heavy topic of the story moving and more upbeat for children. I’m very happy we have this book and recomend it to my friends!

This book was a great place to start to explain race and the civil rights movement to my 7 year old daughter. It was easy for her to then relate what happened then to our recent history and how it was important for her to continue to fight and stand up for civil rights. Hearing a true story of a brave young girl really made it hit home for her. I would highly recommend.

A True Story of a young activist who was part of the children's march in Montgomery. A great story based on actual events. Contains a recipe for the girl's mother's rolls baptized in butter. Love books with recipes - read it, make the recipe and read it again. A lot of fun -- and a LOT of history that all children need to know.

Got this book for my classroom when we were comparing and contrasting events that took place in history in regard to Black History. My students and I loved this book.

Students loved this story. Perfect for elementary school. You can use all or parts to cover lessons on US and VA History!

Great book and enjoyed the illustrations as well- solid history, important history, a great early read for young kids to understand racism, history, and how kids can be a part of the solution.

This beautifully written and illustrated book is very timely considering the many marches and protests taking place recently. I love the true story and the courage and thoughtfulness displayed by the main character.
