A calm, simply-told, easily accessible tale of David, Joseph, Franklin, and Ezell sitting-in at the Woolworth's lunch counter in 1960. Brightly illustrated with Pinkey's usual buzzing black lines amidst watercolor splotches and liberally sprinkled with sayings and truisms, this is more than just an excellent introduction to history: it's a way into a different time. Excellent back matter. --Rhona Campbell
