If a Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks

If A Bus Could Talk, it would tell the story of a young African-American girl named Rosa who had to walk miles to her one-room schoolhouse in Alabama while white children rode to their school in a bus. It would tell how the adult Rosa rode to and from work on a segregated city bus and couldn't sit in the same row as a white person. It would tell of the fateful day when Rosa refused to give up her seat to a white man and how that act of courage inspired others around the world to stand up for freedom. In 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. At 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!

I would recommend reading this book BEFORE reading it with your child. I am very surprised to see this book on a Christian web site. There are references to the KKK and racial violence that have very little to add to the story. I understand that Rosa Parks dealt with these challenges but the way it is presented I don't feel that it is for a children's book.
