A 2024 EUREKA! NONFICTION CHILDREN'S BOOK GOLD AWARD WINNER Middle-grade readers will learn the little-known story of Mamie Tape, an eight-year-old Chinese American girl whose desire for knowledge and belonging led her family to fight for her right to attend public school in San Francisco. In the fall of 1884 in San Francisco, California, Mamie excitedly arrived for her first day at an American public school, only to find the principal blocking her way. Why? Because Mamie was Chinese. Thus began the Tape family's yearlong struggle to secure Mamie's right to attend public school. In the spring of 1885, Mamie's case reached the California Supreme Court, who reaffirmed a lower court's ruling that public schools should be open to children of all races. Kids will be introduced to this largely unknown tale from American history and learn to treat others with empathy and respect.
