The book i read through my eyes it got me into it and i thought ruby bridges is a hero.

From: Yasmin kiara Lechuga | Date: 3/8/2009 4:04 AM

I think she's inspiration to all who read about her. In her story she is well known for her bravery and how she fought to be heard. Especially with the civil rights. To all who have come across the story of Ruby Bridges she is a hero. For standing up to what she thought was trully unfair and went ahead to be heard. This to me really means alot to me.That is why i chose to tell about her biography she is someone you would want to remember amen for this woman of truth.

From: lulu | Date: 2/26/2009 4:26 AM

ruby bridges you are my hero and you changed this world and you are very brave

From: Janice | Date: 11/16/2008 4:15 AM

I have not read the book,but did see the movie that was made by Disney. I never get involved in posting comments or anything but I was really moved by this movie, This movie gave me the opportunity to share a moment with my 8yr old daughter. even though we have not experienced what trying times our people have in the past, I think it is very fortunate to have someone like yourself who has, to share your experiences with our youth that are being brought up in todays world. I give honor to your parents,
for being your angels, I thank you for being very strong minded and brave soul and remembering God first.

From: lizbeth | Date: 1/25/2008 7:11 AM

I love Ruby Bridges. She helped the whole world,thanks Ruby.

From: Meagan | Date: 1/28/2006 2:06 AM

This book is so awesome. It inspires a young heart. It helps the kids, like me, to understand what it was like for African-American children before parents started to accept the fact that they aren't going to stop white kids and black kids from being friends. For example now most of my friends are white, and I have a lot of friends. The book teaches us what happened and what can happen. The best part is that it's through Ruby Bridges' eyes!

From: Zaynah | Date: 1/23/2006 6:43 AM

I love the story,that i read about you your my hero
