Description
Being a tomboy growing up in the 1940's isn't easy for Ivy, who faces daily torment at school. Ivy finds solace in her home, her pup, and the great outdoors, where she loves to run, play, swim and fish. On one of her outdoor excursions, she meets Esau, a young African-American boy. Learning of the racism Esau endures, which prevents him from obtaining the same education Ivy can, Ivy decides to help Esau learn to read and write. With few allies in Southern Arkansas, where the KKK is active, Esau and his family are in constant danger. Hate only flairs when other whites discover that Esau is being taught secretly by not only Ivy, but also a teacher at Ivy's school. Will Esau and Ivy be able to stand their ground in the wake of violence and establish Esau's right to learn?
Publisher's Description of World of Ivy
It is May 1940 as Ivy finishes her 5th grade year in Tucker’s Bayou of Arkansas. Ivy loves learning but hates school. She doesn’t fit in with those silly, prissy girls in their fancy lace dresses; she’d much rather wear her cutoff jeans and a white tee shirt. School is also a place where she has to endure Danny, a bully whose brothers are even more terrifying than he is.
But one summer afternoon Ivy’s world changes dramatically when she meets a new friend while fishing in her secret spot in the bayou. Esau cannot read or write because there is no school for colored children. In her efforts to teach Esau, Ivy receives help from a new teacher in town, and together they cross social barriers and stir up trouble in their small community. More importantly, through the eyes of Esau, Ivy sees a very different world from The World of Ivy.
