Publisher's Synopsis
When Sue is in town with her mom, she sees the most beautiful dress that she has ever laid eyes upon, sitting proudly in a shop window, and with her birthday coming up she sets her heart on it. But there's a problem. A sign on the door means that Sue's mom can't enter the shop to buy her daughter the dress, all because of the color of their skin. In the 1950's black Americans faced a range of discriminatory measures which prevented them from using some public services, eating in café's and restaurants and even entering some shops. Faced with this sort of blatant prejudice, will Sue get the dress she wants for her birthday? Or will it be a day of disappointment for her? Read on and see how Sue's big day turns out.
