Nashida: Visits the Smith Robertson Museum will inspire young readers to seek knowledge in their own backyards. What an excellent way to present African American history through the eyes of this second grader. Readers are taken through Nashida’s thought process as she internalizes everything she sees at the museum. This was an easy and enjoyable read for young and old readers. Our 6th grader read it to our kindergartner and they both enjoyed it!
