It was February 1, 1960.
They didn't need menus. Their order was simple.
A doughnut and coffee, with cream on the side.
This picture book is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the momentous Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in, when four college students staged a peaceful protest that became a defining moment in the struggle for racial equality and the growing civil rights movement.
Andrea Davis Pinkney uses poetic, powerful prose to tell the story of these four young men, who followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words of peaceful protest and dared to sit at the "whites only" Woolworth's lunch counter. Brian Pinkney embraces a new artistic style, creating expressive paintings filled with emotion that mirror the hope, strength, and determination that fueled the dreams of not only these four young men, but also countless others.

Starred Review. Grade 3–6—Through effectively chosen words, Andrea Pinkney brings understanding and meaning to what four black college students accomplished on February 1, 1960, by sitting down at a Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, NC. Her repeated phrase, "Their order was simple. A doughnut and coffee with cream on the side," along with other food metaphors, effectively emphasizes the men's determination to undo the injustices of segregation in a peaceful protest, which eventually led up to the 1966 Supreme Court ruling against racial discrimination. With swirling swabs of color that masterfully intertwine with sometimes thin, sometimes thick lines, Brian Pinkney cleverly centers the action and brings immediacy to the pages. Both the words and the art offer many opportunities for discussion. The book concludes with a civil rights time line and an update on the aftermath of the lunch-counter struggle.—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA

From Booklist
*Starred Review* This compelling picture book is based on the historic sit-in 50 years ago by four college students who tried to integrate a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Food-related wordplay adds layers to the free verse, as in the lines about the protesters’ recipe for integration: “Combine black with white / to make sweet justice.” The double-page spreads in watercolor and thick ink lines show both the scene in Woolworth’s and across America as blacks and whites organize sit-ins and watch coverage of protests on TV. Finally, the young people at the counter get what they order, “served to them exactly the way they wanted it––well done.” The recipe metaphors are repetitive, but at the core of the exciting narrative are scenes that show the difficulty of facing hatred: “tougher than any school test.” Closing pages discuss the role of adults, including Ella Baker and then presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and include a detailed civil rights time line, “a final helping” about the historic struggle, and a bibliography. Even young children will grasp the powerful, elemental, and historic story of those who stood up to oppressive authority and changed the world. Grades 2-4. --Hazel Rochman

This stunning portrait of the "Greensboro Four" takes a look at how young people contributed their strength to end segregation
By Deb
A doughnut and coffee "with cream on the side" wasn't much to ask for in a place like Woolworth's where the lunch counter was a haven for young and old, eager for a little socialization and a little lunch. Four young black men, David, Joseph, Franklin, and Ezell quietly sat at the counter waiting to be served, but as the times dictated it wouldn't be any time soon. "WHITES ONLY" didn't get any black person a napkin, let alone any food. They sat quietly, ignored by most, and proudly in spite of the refusal of the waitress to serve them. On the counter were the napkin holders, the round sugar containers, and the salt and pepper shakers, but definitely no doughnuts and coffee "with cream on the side." It just wasn't going to happen because "segregation was a bitter mix." Very bitter indeed.
A stern looking police officer strolled to the counter, billy club in hand, but the boys were sitting quietly, politely and had not broken any laws. No one knew what to do, but when the store was closed the young men went home. On February 2, 1960, they went to the Woolworth's counter again. The cakes on display looked wonderful, but the only things they wanted were doughnuts and coffee "with cream on the side." Dr. King didn't live in Greensboro, but they remembered well his message, "We must meet violence with nonviolence." It was a difficult message to hold in the hearts of other young people around the country who joined them in their efforts. The sit-ins elicited cruel acts of behavior . . . "Coffee poured down their backs. Milkshakes flung in their faces. Pepper thrown in their eyes." A doughnut and coffee "with cream on the side" . . . please.
This stunning portrait of the "Greensboro Four" takes a close look at how young people contributed their strength to end segregation. The power of conviction these young men had, in retrospect, was amazing and this book easily conveys that fact. The dream like, nostalgic quality of the artwork meshes perfectly with the story. The Civil Rights Movement is one that young people have trouble relating to, but stories such as these help bring it to life. One of the best parts of the book is the ten step "recipe for integration," one that starts with love. In the back of the book is a Civil Rights Timeline (in paragraph form from 1954 to 1964), a photograph of the "Greensboro Four" in Woolworth's, a more in depth look at the incident and the times, and additional recommended book and website resources.

Rutgers University Project on Economics and Children
By Yana V. Rodgers
Early in 1960 in Greensboro, North Carolina, four brave young people sat at the Woolworth's lunch counter and waited for service. Their courage stemmed from standing up for their rights, as African Americans, to be treated equally and to gain access to the same services as whites. Woolworth's, however, like most businesses and institutions, segregated its operations, and its lunch counters would serve only whites.
Inspired by Martin Luther King's principle of meeting hate with love, David, Joseph, Franklin, and Ezell sat patiently and quietly and waited to place their orders. They waited all day, and when they came back the next day, they waited again and were joined by others. The idea caught on like wildfire across the country and within a year, tens of thousands of people -- back and white -- had taken part in sit-ins. As participants continued to meet hostility and violence with non-violent means, the sit-ins ultimately resulted in an enormous step toward social justice with the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Young learners gaining their first exposure to the history of the civil rights movement will enjoy this book's lively watercolor illustrations and rhythmical text, rich in historical background and embellished with cooking metaphors. The back-end materials further make the book a useful resource for introducing children to the power of consumer boycotts and sit-ins in prompting businesses to end their discriminatory practices.
