When Ruby Bridges was in first grade, one teacher helped her feel safe and welcome in a school where many people did not want her to be. That teacher was Mrs. Henry, and A Talk with My Teacher tells the story of Ruby’s bond with the teacher who changed her life.
Young readers meet Ruby during her historic year at William Frantz Elementary and see how kindness in a classroom can make a lasting difference. When Ruby returns for second grade, she discovers that Mrs. Henry is no longer her teacher, and she wonders if she will ever see her again.
Tender and thoughtful, this picture book celebrates brave students, caring teachers, and the powerful memories that stay with us.
