Synopsis: In this triumphant story based on the 1964 Mississippi Freedom School Summer Project, Amy Littlesugar and Floyd Cooper come together to celebrate the strength of a people, and the bravery of one young girl who didn't let being scared get in her way.

Craft ideas:

• Re-write the story from Annie's point of view. What would you have done?
• Make an open-book cutout placemat, and in it draw or write what you would say to the people who threw the brick or burned the church if you had the chance.
