Rosa worked as seamstress. One day they were done with their work for the day, so her boss let her go home early. She went to the bus stop and sat down on the neutral section. While she was sitting, the bus driver asked her to move. She refused, because she was tired of all segregation, they arrested her. The people came together and agreed that Martin Luther King Jr. should speak for them. They agreed to boycott the buses and walk. After almost a year, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on buses was wrong. The events that happened paved the way for the Civil Rights Movement.
The author organized this book very well. The order in which the events happened blend very well with the story. The design of the illustrations in book were appropriate to the text. You are able to visualize what is happening in the story. It complimented the text and conveyed what the author was saying in a clear, effective way. After reading this story, you may have students write a newspaper article on Rosa Parks stating their facts of the events in Rosa Parks life.
