This year's Corolla Christmas Village will host a special guest, Civil Rights icon Ruby Bridges who will sign her latest book at Island Bookstore on Friday, December 23, from 6-8 pm. There is no charge for Corolla Christmas Village or the book signing. No RSVP is required.
Published in September 2022 by Scholastic, I Am Ruby Bridges is illustrated by New York Times bestselling artist Nikkolas Smith and is regarded as Bridges' most personal work yet. The picture book shares the pivotal moment of desegregating an all-white elementary school from the perspective of her six-year-old self.
The family-friendly event is open to adults and children of all ages. We ask that guests please limit the number of books to be signed to one per individual. Attendees may bring their own copy of the book they would like signed or purchase it on-site.
She'll be signing her book, I Am Ruby Bridges
