(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Frank Morrison. As one of the Little Rock Nine, Beals helped integrate Central High School in 1957; here she recounts the childhood years that led up to that important step (described in the epilogue). Fear was a constant, as she learned early that "the color of my skin framed the entire scope of my life." Beals's account is made even more immediate by photographs and Morrison's child-friendly black-and-white illustrations.
