About this listen
This Splash Read collection includes seven historical fiction short stories about Black Americans. The stories are "Marian Anderson and the Easter Sunday Concert", "Louis Armstrong the Steamboat Musician", "Peggy Jones (aka Lady Bo) Learns the Guitar", "Sojourner Truth Meets Abraham Lincoln", "Wilma Rudolph Chases a Dream", "Shirley Chisholm and the Backpack", and "Mary Jackson Builds a Wind Tunnel".
While Splash Read stories are enjoyed by kids of all ages, they were written to facilitate a conversation between a child and parent or student and teacher. Each story introduces an influential person from history. Stories discuss life skills, challenges, problem-solving, and important issues. We’ve heard positive reviews from kids as young as first graders and as old as 10th graders.
