Norman Rockwell painting, depicting little Roby Bridges being escorted into a school by Feds. Racial slurs are pained on the wall behind here. A thrown tomato lies on the ground.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Multiple of these every day.

Thanks Keith! Always love to hear what the readers think about these decisions.

I really like them both too. Love to hear this feedback though. Always interesting to see how people respond to a cover. Thank you!

"Most importantly, don’t be discouraged from exercising if you can only do exercise in the evening."

Did I mention THE TORTOISE'S TALE has two covers? One for Canada and one for the US.
Which one do you like better?

Some wonderful books come out this week but don't forget these 2 great books that came out last week!
