Description
If a bus could talk, It might tell the story of a young African-American girl named Rosa who needed to walk miles to her one-room schoolhouse in Alabama even as white children rode to their school in a bus. It might tell how the adult Rosa rode to and from work on a segregated city bus and couldn’t take a seat in the similar row as a white person. It might tell of the fateful day when Rosa refused to surrender her seat to a white man and how that act of courage inspired others around the globe to rise up for freedom.
On this book a bus does talk, and on her way to school a girl named Marcie learns why Rosa Parks is the mother of the Civil Rights movement. On the end of Marcie’s magical ride, she meets Rosa Parks herself at a birthday party with several distinguished guests. Wait until she tells her class about this!
