Giovanni, N. (2005). Rosa. NY: Holt.
The brave actions of Rosa Parks in the midst of the civil rights movement in America are beautifully portrayed in Rosa. She is seen as a hard working woman who simply wants to go home and cook dinner but her bus ride home changes her life, and ultimately the lives of many Americans. Soon the attention shifts to the women who were inspired by Mrs. Parks and ultimately to the Montgomery bus boycott. Giovanni's story and illustrations beautifully portray a difficult time in our country's history.
Textbook Assignment #2
Evaluative Criteria - Organization
The beautifully illustrated, well-told story of Rosa Parks is organized in such a way that allows the reader to see the civil rights hero simply as Mrs. Parks before she steps foot on the bus. We see her as a strong, hard-working woman who took her rightful seat on the bus, then stood her ground. The story is told chronologically which captures the struggle of Mrs. Parks’ time in history. By introducing other players involved in the boycott, we see other brave souls who were inspired by Rosa’s actions and in turn, helped change history for the better.
