See below for English description. Un jeune hockeyeur noir doit faire face aux préjugés de ses coéquipiers et de leurs parents, qui le considèrent comme une menace parce qu'il est le plus grand de l'équipe. En raison de la couleur de sa peau, ils le trouvent dangereux et supposent que c'est une brute. Le garçon comprend que le fait d'être grand peut être dangereux pour un enfant noir, car cela peut engendrer la haine et la violence. Heureusement, le joueur de hockey arrive à trouver de l'inspiration auprès de sa famille et des légendes du hockey noires pour montrer à son équipe qu'il n'est pas seulement grand, mais aussi grandiose! Cette histoire sur les préjugés raciaux montre aux enfants qu'ils ne devraient jamais avoir honte de prendre leur place, et à quel point les idées préconçues peuvent être dommageables. Original title : I Am Big A young Black hockey player must face the prejudice of his teammates and their parents who see him as a threat for being the biggest kid on the team. Based on his race, they find him dangerous and assume he's a bully, but he ruminates on how being big can be dangerous for a Black kid as it draws the wrong kind of attention, namely hatred and violence. The unnamed hockey player will draw inspiration from his family and Black hockey legends to show his team that he is more than his size. This story shows kids that they should never be ashamed for taking up space, and just how damaging unchallenged prejudices can be.

Learn about and be inspired by the unfrequented stories of Ona Marie Judge, Vicente Guerrero, the Black Panthers, the Haitian Revolution, Martin Luther King Junior’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and more. Perfect for middle-grade readers! Black history is a robust and multifaceted chapter in world history that is often watered down. History books tend to highlight whitewashed versions of African enslavement, the Civil Rights Movement, and other “safe” topics that, while important, do not fully encapsulate the experiences of the Black and African diaspora. By telling the stories that are often omitted from history, Resistance Stories from Black History for Kids sets out to show that the Black experience is not only defined by marching and boycotting, but also through rebellion and resistance. Learn about little-known facets, events, and figureheads from Black history, including: Vicente Guerrero, the first Black North American president One Marie Judge and her escape to freedom from George Washington Dr. Carter G. Woodson and the real reason he created Black History Month The history of the “dap” and its roots in African tradition Mansa Musa and his travels throughout the continent of Africa And many more exciting stories! Written by an expert educator highly experienced in historical analysis and diversity, Resistance Stores from Black History for Kids is the ultimate lesson in Black history that will empower and inspire the youth through its retellings of the stories often left by the wayside.

L'album nous présente la personnalité de Rosa Parks, une militante pour l'égalité des droits entre les Noirs et les Blancs. Rosa a commencé à militer en refusant de céder sa place dans l'autobus à un Blanc. Puis, elle s'est déplacée vers Détroit où elle défendit le droit d'accès aux Noirs à l'éducation, au travail, à la propriété et au vote. En somme, elle fut l'étincelle par laquelle s'est formé un mouvement pour mettre fin à la ségrégation raciale aux États-Unis. [SDM].

The story of the bus--and the passengers who changed history. Like all buses in Montgomery, Alabama, in the 1950s, bus #2857 was segregated: white passengers sat in the front and black passengers sat in the back. Bus #2857 was an ordinary public bus until a woman named Rosa Parks, who had just put in a long day as a seamstress, refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a major event in the Civil Rights moment, led by a young minister named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For 382 days, black passengers chose to walk rather than ride the buses in Montgomery. From the streets of Montgomery to its present home in the Henry Ford Museum, here is the remarkable story, a recipient of the Crystal Kite Award, of a bus and the passengers who changed history.
