Day #10 – Black History Month: Books Worth Reading…

Inspired by her father’s stories of growing up in the midst of a family active in the Civil Right’s Movement, Pamela Tuck turns out a tale of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity with her children’s book As Fast As Words Could Fly. Young Mason Steele turns his father’s words into polished letters for a local group of civil rights activists and soon receives a gift from the group: his very own typewriter. Eric Velasquez’s colorful oil paintings breathe life into the narrative as Mason and his brothers become the first black students to attend the local formerly all white high school. Mason’s skilled typewriting eventually wins him the grudging respect of his fellow students, teachers, and the local community as he wins the county typing tournament.
