    • Abstract:
      This article, titled "Mamie Tape Fights to Go to School," recounts the true story of Mamie Tape, a Chinese girl living in California in 1884, and her struggle to attend school. Despite growing up playing with neighborhood children, Mamie is denied entry to school due to her Chinese heritage. Mamie's parents fight against the discriminatory policy, and eventually, Mamie is allowed to attend school. The book, illustrated by Michelle Jing Chan, features a subdued color palette and focuses on classroom scenes and the Tape family's home. The article includes an author's note and bibliography.
