It seems like any other winter day in Montgomery, Alabama. Mama and child are riding where they?re supposed to?way in the back of the bus. The boy passes the time by watching his marble roll up and down the aisle with the motion of the bus, until from way up front a big commotion breaks out. He can?t see what?s going on, but he can see the policeman arrive outside and he can see Mama?s chin grow strong. ?There you go, Rosa Parks,? she says, ?stirrin? up a nest of hornets. Tomorrow all this?ll be forgot.? But they both know differently.

With childlike words and powerful illustrations, Aaron Reynolds and Coretta Scott King medalist Floyd Cooper recount Rosa Parks? act of defiance through the eyes of a child?who will never forget.

My second grade students were completely engrossed when I read this aloud. It has a smooth, poetic rhythm that captivated them. They had learned all about Mrs. Parks but I think the moment in history from the perspective of a child about their age really stuck with them. They didn't quite grasp the symbolism of him holding his marble out proudly at the end, but it led to a great class discussion.

Great story told through the lens of a little boy sitting at the back of the bus when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Great for teaching perspective, motivation, small moments, and implications.

Amazing book

Just as described -- fast shipping -- thank you!!
