Goin' Someplace Special
By Patricia McKissack; illustrated by Jerry Pinkney*

Excited about "goin' someplace special" all by herself, Tricia Ann, an African-American child of the '50s in the segregated south, deals with prejudices she encounters along the way to the one special place that will welcome her—the public library.
