Welcome to Litsy!

“We will walk until justice runs down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.“

“She was not frightened. She was not going to give in to that which was wrong.“

This is a picture book that tells the story of Rosa Parks and her brave act of refusing to give up her bus seat. The theme of courage and justice is shown through simple, powerful text and bold, colorful illustrations. The words highlight Rosa‘s quiet strength and how one small action can change history. This book is a clear and inspiring way to teach about standing up for what is right.

I am in a fourth-grade history class. I would definitely use this book in a history lesson that covers the importance of the civil rights movement. Students will get to hear and see how one woman left an everlasting impact on history.

I enjoyed reading this book. This is a Caldecott Award winner. This book is a tribute to the civil rights movement and the impact that Rosa Parks made in history.

Auntie, are you going to move?”

I would use this book to discuss the impact rosa parks had and how to stand up for what you believe in.
