If a Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks
Summary: This delightful book tells the story of Rosa Parks from the bus's point of view. Unlike other Civil Rights books that speak from erudite perspective, this is a friendly voice that children used to Thomas the Tank Engine, et al, will feel quickly warm up to. A great way to couch an important event in the visuals and language of a younger audience.
Lesson: The Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers were looking for a book on Civil Rights. Most books are written in textual format, with a few photographs interspersed. This book was appropriate to engage their interests and to bring abstract concepts down to their level.
Level: Kinder-3rd
