Rosa - [16 Jun 2009]
I would recommend this book mainly for children in 3rd through 5th grade. My favorite thing about this book is how the writing and the illustrations work together to make you feel the emotions of this historic moment. Giovanni uses dialogue between Rosa...

Great book-Poor binding - [18 May 2009]
It is a well-written book with great illustration. However, the second time I picked it up to read to my granddaughter, the inside pages fell away from the cover.

Great intro to Rosa Parks - [21 Sep 2008]
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, in...

Beautiful prose and illustrations, but... - [10 Jun 2007]

Rosa - [11 Feb 2007]
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...

"...She was tired. Not tired from work, but tired of putting white people first..." - [26 Apr 2006]
I liked Ms. Giovanni's approach to telling this story. Given that it is a children's book, I appreciate that she looks at the humanity of Rosa Parks, (a woman with a life and a husband), rather than just her political role. I know that my kids will relate...
