Linda J Holloway has given us another hit with LML-BAD Girls of Montgomery, the story of the women who played important roles in the Montgomery Boycott and helped change the Civil Rights Movement forever. This story follows Little Miss Linda (LML) on her school trip to Montgomery, AL, and her learning project that followed. The term BAD Girls of Montgomery refers to the women connected with the Civil Rights movement who were Bold and Determined (BAD). Your child will be excited to learn about all the places LML visited on her school trip and then learn about the seven women who are nothing less than inspiring. Most people know who Rosa Parks was, but do you know about Mary Fair Burks, Aurelia Browder, or the other four women discussed in this book? Hopefully, this book will inspire your child to work for the continuation of the spirit of the Civil Rights movement.
LML-BAD Girls of Montgomery by Linda J. Holloway is well-written for elementary school children and the illustrations will keep their attention. She shares her excitement about famous women of color and inspires children to learn all they can about the Civil Rights Movement so they can keep it going. I found this book interesting because it explores what things were like during the Civil Rights Movement. Even the town that Linda grew up in was founded by two freed slaves and is the oldest African-American municipality in America. I have two cousins who were very active Freedom Riders in the fight for equality. I believe they would highly recommend this book. In a world where people of color are beginning to be recognized for their contributions to the development of society, this book will open the door to learning more about the acceptance of everyone.
