My Favorite Children's Book:

White Socks Only is my favorite children's book of all time.  It allows children to see a glimsp of the past while relating it the future.  In this text, a grandmother shares a story of how she unknowingly intergrated a water fountain.  The text reveals the ability of one individual to drastically change a community.

  1. I have never read this book. It sounds like a wonderful story that children of all ages can learn from. It also sounds like a book that relates to the lives of teachers. Each and every day we impact the lives of children in ways we do not even realize. We have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children throughout our career....how blessed we are! What a rewarding profession we have chosen. I will put this book on the top of my list of books to read. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Hi Deirdre, I think your "favorite book" choice is excellent. I've never read this book before; however I appreciate books that promote conversation and allow the reader to take a stance. I also feel this novel is essential to the Early Childhood field in that it serves as a way to engage young readers in historical events! Great book selection! kudos!!
