Growing up in 1950s Nashville, Tennessee, Tricia Ann faces signs everywhere saying For Whites Only.
And her grandmother\'s words--You are somebody, a human being--no better, no worse than anybody else in this world--echo in her head, lifting her spirits and pushing her forward..
Still, for each hurtful sign seen and painful comment heard, there\'s a friend around the corner reminding \'Tricia Ann that she\'s not alone.
But when she catches the bus heading downtown, unlike the white passengers, she must sit in the back behind the Jim Crow sign and wonder why life\'s so unfair.
To her, it\'s Someplace Special and she\'s bursting to go by herself.
There\'s a place in this 1950s southern town where all are welcome, no matter what their skin color...and \'Tricia Ann knows exactly how to get there.
Through moving prose and beautiful watercolors, a Coretta Scott King Award and Caldecott Medal-winning author-illustrator duo collaborate to tell the poignant tale of a spirited young girl who comes face to face with segregation in her southern town.
Full color.
When her grandmother allows her to go Someplace Special for the first time, \'Tricia Ann heads for the public library--where all are welcome.
