Most students are familiar with
Rosa
Parks, but this story takes you beyond the bus. We get a glimps into Rosa's personal life, which allows students to develop more connections. The illustrations are amazing, as is all of Bryan Collier's work. Great book selection!
Rosa
Good book, beautiful artwork. Get the book if nothing else for the pictures. The book itself was ok, it was a little jumpy and didn't go into very much detail of the actual event. However, it is a nice book for young children who don't need or want much detail.
Great intro to Rosa Parks
Beautiful illustrations accompany this simplified story of
Rosa
Park and the movement she inspired. The writing is very personal, though I was slightly annoyed at how the point of view jumped around instead of staying concise. Still, it's gorgeous, inspirational prose that gives off a lot of passion, and I was able to read it to my class. The illustrations are still the best part.

Rosa
Everyday
Rosa
Parks rode the bus to work. There was a black and white section. She sat down in the neutral section and a man didn't want her to, but she stayed and got arrested. She was arrested for the wrong reason. People made signs and walked to support Rosa. They stopped riding the bus too.
I liked the book. The pictures were good. I learned that white and black people were separated. That's wrong. Since I read the book, I now want to watch a movie and learn more about Rosa Parks.

Beautiful prose and illustrations, but...
if you're looking for an children's biography of Rose Parks or of the Civil Rights Movement, this books isn't it.
Buy it for Giovanni's magical and powerful words.
Buy it for Collier's amazing pictures.
Don't buy it if it's intended to teach children who are wholly uninformed about American history. I had six immigrant teenagers read this book, and all they could tell me after they were finished was that
Rosa
Parks was a lady who was thrown off a bus because of white people. They weren't sure why. And then a bunch of people walked to Washington D.C. afterwards, but they weren't sure how this connected to Rosa getting thrown off the bus. In the end the teens were really confused.

Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs.
Rosa
Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed. Award-winning poet, writer, and activist Nikki Giovanni?s evocative text combines with Bryan Collier?s striking cut-paper images to retell the story of this historic event from a wholly unique and original perspective.
