(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jerome Lagarrigue. This account of the 1960 sit-ins at the segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, is told from the perspective of eight-year-old observer Connie. The text--full of detail and lively dialogue--moves along smartly and holds true to Connie's experience without sacrificing content or veracity. Somber, impressionistic oils lend the story dignity and weight.
