Editorial Reviews

"In this volume of his fine Picture Book Biography series for younger readers, Adler sets the life story of Rosa Parks within the history of the civil-rights movement. The simple narrative text and the dramatic color illustrations show the discrimination that was common when Parks was growing up . . . In addition to the sweeping political scenes, there are portraits by Casilla that capture the ordinary person who made a difference. "—Booklist
