This powerful informational picture book is about the courageous Rosa Park. This book gives children an inside on who Rosa really was and why she decided to say "No." It wasn't until I read this book that I learn about her life before her arrest. We always hear about Rosa who didn't want to give up her seat because she was tired from work. After reading this book it shows that she was tired from all the injustices. Then it also shows what happens after her arrest. How a group of women secretly staged the bus boycott. To having Martin Luther King Jr. be part of this Civil Right Movement. Thanks to Rosa Park, and all the people who stood by her, segregations on buses became illegal.

impressive art work. This was the story of Rosa Parks that I had never heard
before. I really enjoyed this book and learned some new facts about this
