Description

It's the day before the big parade. Alta can only think about one thing: Wilma Rudolph, three-time Olympic gold medalist. She'll be riding on a float tomorrow. See, Alta is the quickest kid in Clarksville, Tennessee, just like Wilma once was. It doesn't matter that Alta's shoes have holes because Wilma came from hard times, too. But what happens when a new girl with shiny new shoes comes along and challenges Alta to a race? Will she still be the quickest kid? The Quickest Kid in Clarksville is a timeless story of dreams, determination, and the power of friendship. diversity black authors black illustrators multicultural multi-cultural black people BIPOC african american racism antiracism acceptance tolerance equality fair just jealousy confidence determination dreams friendsh predjudice empower power critical conversations BIPOC black people discrimination intolerance acceptance tolerance society values humanitarian challenge include everyone black authors black illustrators african american diversity black authors black illustrators multicultural multi-cultural black people BIPOC african american racism antiracism acceptance tolerance equality fair just jealousy confidence determination dreams friendsh predjudice empower power critical conversations BIPOC black people discrimination intolerance acceptance tolerance society values humanitarian challenge include everyone black authors black illustrators african american
