DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe lesson of "MULE SCHOOL" MULE SCHOOL is a poem with a message that applies to both grown-ups and children. The poem is about a boy name Toby and his mule Elmer. However, within the verses there is a deeper meaning. The poem shows how the boy and his mule must learn certain rules in order to plow the desired "Nice Straight Row." That's not too different than what happens to us in our daily lives. The message in the poem is clear. We, too, as individuals, must learn the rules that keep us on a straight path toward achieving our own goal of having a happy, and fulfilling life. When the author wrote the poem, he was thinking of young people, especially TEENAGERS, who at a very early age, are often faced with choices. In our modern society there are many temptations and a bad choice can be life changing. When a young person reads this poem, he or she, should think about the direction their own life is taking. Or, if a PARENT or GRANDPARENT is reading this poem to a child, they should point out to them the merits of making the right choices and the consequences of making the wrong choices. Tell your child to always remember the message of "Mule School." That message is simple. As you go through life keep asking yourself this all "" important question: "Am I plowing a "straight" row, or am I wandering?" ENJOY "MULE SCHOOL"

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“This small snapshot of the protest movement pays homage to both the determination of ordinary folk and the power of Dr. King’s words. . . . An intergenerational story filled with heart and soul.” — Kirkus Reviews When Alex spies a mule chomping on greens in a nearby garden, he can’t help but ask about it. “Ol’ Belle?” says Miz Pettway. “She can have all the collards she wants. She’s earned it.” And so begins the tale of an ordinary mule in Gee’s Bend, Alabama, that played a singular part in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. When African-Americans in a poor community — inspired by a visit from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — defied local authorities who were trying to stop them from registering to vote, many got around a long, imposed detour on mule-drawn wagons. As Alex looks into the eyes of gentle Belle, he begins to understand a significant time in history in a very personal way.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Lizzie's parents are granted their freedom from slavery, Mama says its time for Lizzie and her brother Paul to go to a real school -- a new one, built just for them. Lizzie can't wait. The scraps of learning she has picked up here and there have just made her hungry for more. The walk to school is long. Some days it's rainy, or windy, or freezing cold. Sometimes there are dangers lurking along the way, like angry white folks with rocks, or mysterious men on horseback. The schoolhouse is still unpainted, and its very plain, but Lizzie has never seen a prettier sight. Except for maybe the teacher, Mizz Howard, who has brown skin, just like her. They've finally made it to Freedom's School. But will it be strong enough to stand forever? Praise for Light in the Darkness "In this tale, [Cline-Ransome] makes the point that learning was not just a dream of a few famous and accomplished men and women, but one that belonged to ordinary folk willing to risk their lives. Ransome's full-page watercolor paintings-in beautiful shades of blue for the night and yellow for the day-are a window, albeit somewhat gentle, into a slave's life for younger readers. A compelling story about those willing to risk "[a] lash for each letter." -- Kirkus Reviews "Told from the perspective of Rosa, a girl who makes the dangerous nighttime journey to the lessons with her mother, the story effectively conveys the urgent dedication of the characters to their surreptitious schooling and their belief in the power of literacy . . .Solid text and soft, skillful illustrations combine for a poignant tribute to the power of education and the human spirit." -- School Library Journal
