One fall morning in Minneapolis, two girls stepped onto a yellow school bus. It looked like a regular ride-but it wasn't.
Our First Bus Ride tells the story of Molly and Monica, two best friends whose lives change when they become part of the historic Hale-Field school pairing in 1971-one of Minnesota's earliest efforts to integrate public schools. Though segregated schools were declared unconstitutional decades earlier, communities across the country were still working to make fairness a reality. Through the eyes of these two children, young readers experience the excitement, uncertainty, and hope of learning in a new place with new classmates. As Molly and Monica ride the bus together, they begin to understand what it means to share schools, resources, and friendships.
Inspired by real events, this beautifully illustrated picture book introduces children to the ideas of integration and fairness in clear, age-appropriate language. Our First Bus Ride celebrates courage, community, and the power of learning together across differences-a legacy that continues to shape schools and neighborhoods today.
Seventy years after Brown v. Board of Education declared segregated schools unconstitutional, the journey toward true integration still tells many stories - one of them begins in Minnesota.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and libraries, this story invites meaningful conversations about history, empathy, and belonging.
