(3) 4-6 Dear America series. In 1954 Virginia, Dawnie Rae wants to be a doctor, to help her brother be "normal," and to meet Jackie Robinson. With her parents' approval, she also wants to attend the all-white Prettyman Coburn School. Harassed by Coburn students and teachers and rejected by lifelong friends, Dawnie Rae, through Pinkney's authentic scenes of boycotts, violence, and familial love, walks the difficult path toward racial equality.
