Audrey Faye  Hendricks was confident, bold, and brave as can be, and hers is the remarkable and inspiring story of one child's role in the Civil Rights Movement. "A significant portrayal of Audrey Faye Hendricks and the Children's March." -- School Library Journal, November 2016 "Levinson returns to the subject of We've Got a Job as she recounts, for a younger audience, the story of Audrey Faye Hendricks and her role in the 1963 Children's March in Birmingham, Ala. Moving briskly through events, Levinson explains how the young Hendricks was eager to stand up to segregation, marching alongside thousands of fellow students who were subsequently arrested. Newton's bright, digitally assembled collages adeptly highlight the danger of the situation--grim cells, barbed-wire fences, children blasted with fire hoses--while emphasizing the power of the marchers' collective efforts to push back against injustice."
