Rosa

 Giovanni, N. (2006). Rosa. New York, NY: Scholastic.

Rosa grew up in the era of segregation and mistreatment. She never agreed with the Jim Crow laws, but had to follow them because that was the law. She refuses to give up her seat just because there were signs everywhere, she was not giving in. The driver called the police and arrested her because she broke the law. After her arrest, many people gathered together to boycott the buses. It was very heart felting to see how everyone came together and stood for what they believe was correct.  This led to the Supreme Court outlawing segregation. 

This nonfiction book has accurate facts and informs the readers about the events that led to the Rosa Parks arrest. The illustrations go hand in hand with the information in the book.
