Rosa's Bus: The Ride to Civil Rights
Illustrated by:
No one knew that when "Bus #2857 rolled off the assembly line in 1948…[that it] would be famous…" but it did when a woman refused to give up her seat on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Rosa Parks' story of bravery is effectively told in simple text and illustration. That bus is now in Michigan's Henry Ford Museum.
