CALA BEST BOOK IN THE CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION CATEGORY • A CBC 2025 NOTABLE SOCIAL STUDIES TRADE BOOK FOR YOUNG PEOPLE SELECTION • Meet Mamie Tape, 8-year-old Chinese American changemaker who fought for the right to go to school in San Francisco in the 1880s. Follow Mamie's brave steps and discover the poignant history of her California Supreme Court case Tape v. Hurley.

"A gripping and accessible biographical story of a U.S-born Chinese girl caught in a pivotal moment of history, this book spotlights the discriminatory difficulties that visible minorities faced and the heroic actions and perseverance that ordinary people must undertake for equality. Truly inspirational! This is a must-read for all ages, really, because Chinese-American history is American history." –Teresa Robeson, APALA award-winning author of Queen of Physics: How Wu Chien Shiung Helped Unlock the Secrets of the Atom

"I love that this book communicates, in such a clear and age-appropriate way, the can-do spirit and perseverance of the Tape family!" –Linda Lum Doler, great-granddaughter of Mamie Tape


Mamie’s mom always reminded her a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So when Mamie wanted to go to school, even though Chinese children weren’t allowed, she took her first step and showed up anyway. When she was turned away at the schoolhouse door, she and her parents took another step: they sued the San Francisco school board…and won! Their case Tape v. Hurley made its way up to the California Supreme Court, which ruled that children of Chinese heritage had the right to a free public school education. But even then, Mamie’s fight wasn’t over.

Mamie Tape Fights to go to School is the story of one young changemaker’s brave steps on the long journey to end school segregation in California. It began with a single step.

Beautiful, versatile bag with standout details
Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn
This is a stunning bag, especially in the vanilla color. The hardware and overall detailing feel high quality and really elevate the look. It is the kind of piece that gets noticed and works well as a statement accessory without being over the top. Even though it is on the smaller side, it still holds a surprising amount, and the size keeps it comfortable to carry without feeling bulky. I also love the versatility of being able to use the top handles or attach the crossbody strap depending on the situation. It pairs just as well with casual outfits as it does with more dressed-up looks for a night out. While this bag does have a premium price tag, it does not feel like they skimped on any details or hardware so that feels like a good value there. I also appreciate the two-in-one versatility, which also helps when considering the cost of this bag as well. Overall, this is a beautiful and functional bag that I have really enjoyed, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm in love
Color: Chambray, Color: Chambray
YES, PLEASE, and WOW!!! Let me start by saying I have never owned a Michael Kors purse before. I know they are extremely popular and a lot of women carry them. But, after receiving this little GEM, I can definitely see the appeal! She is absolutely BEAU..tiful. First, the COLOR... this blue screams spring and summer. The SIZE is perfect. I used to carry big purses and over the years have reduced it down significantly and carrying much less than I used to. So now I only carry small purses. It has more than adequate room for everything that I need on a daily basis. It has an inner open pocket and large open area inside. There is also a zippered pocket outside for quicker access. The DESIGN is so cute! I think they call it a barrel or duffel bag shape. Love it. Very easy to carry with handles, or by using the adjustable shoulder strap. Either is very sturdy and secure feeling. All the hardware is top notch. Everything is wrapped individually and protected from scratches during shipment. The blue "MK" embossed leather is soft to the touch, but durable and really makes this purse. It has 4 metal "feet" studs on bottom to protect the leather. This little cutie is obviously professionally made with an eye on quality, design, comfort, versatility, and perfection. I know she cost a pretty penny, but now I can honestly see why as it is an extremely well made purse. There is the value for the cost. Definitely recommend.
