McKissack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy has their grandmother bothered keeping a menu from a restaurant that closed years ago, a restaurant that never served very good food in the first place? Three cousins listen to Gee's own story, set in the early days of lunch counter sit-ins in Nashville, a time when a black child could sit up front in a city bus but still could not get a milk shake at a downtown restaurant. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Abby, young readers see what it was like to live through those days, and they'll come to understand that, like a menu, freedom is about having choices. Each book in this series tells the story behind a different \"scrap of time\"; together they form a patchwork quilt of one black family's past that stretches back for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A perfect introduction to an extraordinary time when regular people, even ten-year-old girls, make a difference.\" --The Horn Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The book gives readers a kid's-eye view of important happenings and reminds them that history is something that is in the making.\" --Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51968020480280,"sku":"9780142406878","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9780142406878.jpg?v=1776531671","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/abby-takes-a-stand-scraps-of-time","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
