      abstract = {A Caldecott-honor winning picture book biography of the  mother of Emmett Till, and how she channeled grief over her  son's death into a call to action for the civil rights  movement. Mamie Till-Mobley is the mother of Emmett Till,  the 14-year-old boy who was brutally murdered while  visiting the South in 1955. His death became a rallying  point for the civil rights movement, but few know that it  was his mother who was the catalyst for bringing his name  to the forefront of history. In Choosing Brave, Angela Joy  and Janelle Washington offer a testament to the power of  love, the bond of motherhood, and one woman's unwavering  advocacy for justice. It is a poised, moving work about a  woman who refocused her unimaginable grief into action for  the greater good. Mamie fearlessly refused to allow America  to turn away from what happened to her only child. She  turned pain into change that ensured her son's life  mattered. Timely, powerful, and beautifully told, this  thorough and moving story has been masterfully crafted to  be both comprehensive and suitable for younger readers. -  Publisher.},
