Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till's lynching. Before then, she had "known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was…the fear of being killed just because I was black." In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life.

You will find 25 stories about lions, tigers, pumas, bears, monkeys, zebras, and so much more inside. The length of each story is intentional. Children typically have limited attention spans, especially at bedtime when they might be tired or even resistant to sleep. All of the stories are geared toward four to eight-year-olds, but one- to three-year-olds can still enjoy them and may pick up on the lessons.

Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South.
