Little Receipts Vol. 6 — Kids Who Changed History (Capstone) (Kid-Friendly Edition — Interactive Edition)
Ruby Bridges is six years old, carrying her books and her lunchbox, walking into a New Orleans school with federal marshals beside her. Birmingham's schoolchildren decide that 'later' is too late, and march. Claudette Colvin is fifteen when she says no on a Montgomery bus, months before the famous boycott. Little Stevie Wonder signs with Motown at eleven and tops the charts at thirteen, harmonica in hand. Barbara Johns is sixteen when she leads her classmates out of a school that did not have room for them. And the last chapter is yours: every hero in this series started as a kid — just like you. Inside the Interactive Edition (KID-FRIENDLY EDITION, 5,649 words): the complete book — all 6 chapters, written for reading aloud, one big idea per chapter; recorded narration by Marcus — 31.41 minutes; picture cues on every spread — scenes and objects, never invented portraits of real people; every chapter ends with The Receipt; a chronological timeline; a 10-question educator quiz drawn strictly from the text. For educators: a TEKS correlation sheet for this volume is available with the Little Receipts Educator materials — mapped against the adopted Texas standards, claiming only what the sheet claims. These materials make classrooms eligible, not district-adopted. The chapters: Ruby Bridges Walks In · The Youngest Marchers: Birmingham's Children in 1963 · Claudette Colvin Says No — Before Rosa Parks · Little Stevie Wonder Signs at Eleven · Barbara Johns Walks Out of School · Now It's Your Turn: A Reader's Receipt. Little Receipts is the first series from The Digital Black Voice written for young readers first — the receipts are still real, built chapter by chapter from a research dossier of checkable facts. Big history. Little readers. All receipts.
