This book in its text and telling is amazing, the illustrations are a bit odd to my opinion and preference. I wouldn't hesitate to say this book should be required reading for all. We are knee-deep in reading books for American History this year, and Separate Is Never Equal is a great one to show a discussion starter to explain how things used to be for some and how we as individuals can continue to work toward a fair world for all. It is bittersweet when I teach my children some philosophies of people in years past, be it decades, centuries or other, there were some crazy ways of life. I read this through Kindle Freetime Unlimited as a picture book that was created well, double-tap to enlarge text and clear images. Well done.
