How Four Friends Stood Up by Sitting Down

By Andrea Davis Pinkney ● Pictures by Brian Pinkney
Four young men sit down at a lunch counter, but their quiet action speaks loudly. They are not there to cause trouble. They are there to ask for the same respect everyone deserves. Sit-In tells the story of the 1960 Woolworth lunch counter protest in Greensboro, North Carolina, a peaceful stand that helped grow the Civil Rights Movement. With rhythmic, memorable language, the book shows how courage can begin with one simple choice and spread through a community. This powerful picture book introduces young children to fairness, peaceful protest, and the real history of people who challenged segregation. It is a strong read-aloud for families, classrooms, and libraries.
