White Water

Michael S. Bandy,Eric Stein

Inspirational in tone, this is a strong introduction for young listeners and readers to the American Civil Rights movement. -Kirkus Reviews

After a long bus ride into town with his grandmother on a scorching hot day, Michael runs to the water fountain to quench his thirst. But instead of refreshing him, the water tastes gritty and dirty. Dismayed, Michael begins to imagine that the water from the nearby white fountain is exactly the kind of water he would like to taste… . Set in 1962 in the segregation-era South at the dawn of the civil rights movement, this moving and inspirational story, based on a real-life childhood experience of author Michael S. Bandy, shows how one epiphany opens up a whole world of possibilities.
