- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Rosa Parks: A Life of Courage, was a great biographical book. I liked how the book began with prompting questions such as, "What does it mean to have courage? Could you be brave in the face of danger? Would you stand up for something that was right?", which would make a child think. These were questions that got a student thinking and wondering about answers to the question. Another characteristic that I liked about the book were the pictures. This book has great pictures that get the main idea that is being discussed across. Sometimes factual information can be boring to sit and read about but this book conveys it in an engaging manner. This book also made emphasis on the idea that there were not only blacks that protested and boycotted but their were white people too. That is an important idea that the book got across. Also, there are some words that children might not understand and they are bolded in the text and listed in the glossary. This book overall was a great book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a good book to read to children about segregation. It brings readers through Rosa Park's life, and how she stood up for herself and her race.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book. I like the text itself because it describes in detail what Rosa Parks did in order to stand up for what she believes in. I also liked the illustrations because they showed two different fountains that said “blacks only” and “whites only”. The size difference of the water fountain was sad because the fountain for white folks was much bigger than the one for blacks. It is a good demonstration of what this time was like. The big idea is that Rosa Parks stood up for herself and for other blacks by fighting for equality.
