Editorial Reviews
“One children’s books series trying to fight back… by telling the inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history by pursuing their childhood dreams.”
- Toronto Star
“Informative text…smartly illustrated… Another batch of successful instalments in the series”
- School Library Journal
“The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well… The language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater historical complexity”
- Irish Times
“Stirring encouragement for all 'little people' with 'big dreams.'”
- Kirkus
Unwrapping some wonderful illustrations for you
But times were still hard for Rosa and her family. Black people were treated very badly and told they were not equal to white people.
Rosa knew this wasn't right. She knew she was a regular person, just as good as anyone else.
She fought for voting rights, women’s rights and the rights of people in prison.
Unwrapping the story
This empowering series is very worthy of collecting. It is intended for kids of all ages and comes in a range of formats. Its mission is to inspire the next generation of outstanding people to shine their light and uniqueness and in so doing make positive and often life-changing contributions to the world!
Rosa Parks grew up in Alabama. One day, in 1955, while on a segregated bus, a white man approaches her and demands that she give up her seat so he can sit down. Rosa refuses his request and as a result is put in jail.
Her refusal ignites the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This woman's very courageous stand against injustice sparks a movement that miraculously ends segregation on public transit.
What happened to Rosa Parks? She continues on to become a civil right's activist and never stops working for just causes. This book can be a call to action for others to take a stand and fight for truth and righteousness. Rosa proves that one insignificant woman can make a difference and accomplish significant changes in the world.
The illustrations enrich the text and are powerful advocates to the positive message. The author has included a biographical timeline with photos of the real Rosa Parks. She incorporates a more detailed profile of her for those wishing to learn more about this extraordinary woman's life. I highly recommend this book and the others in this wonderful series.
