What does it mean to believe in children?

In The Boy Who Helped Change Schools, young readers discover the true story of Dr. Dudley E. Flood, a North Carolina leader who helped guide school desegregation with courage, patience, and deep respect for others.

Through powerful moments including the historic Hyde County school boycott and a simple lesson using a two-colored ball, this book shows how listening, understanding, and belief can help communities move forward together.

Written for ages 8-11, this inspiring story reminds readers that justice begins with empathy and that one person can make a difference.
