If A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks by Faith Ringgold

mariahroze's review against another edition

5.0

Thanks to one of my Goodreads' friends, I was suggested the author Faith Ringgold. My class will be reading all her picture books that my library has because they are great for our Black History Month unit.

This book had a really cool theme and was very educational. It introduced the story of Rosa Parks in a really cute way. Then it went through her life story. The students really clung to this book as asked questions. This book was extremely well put together and very creative.

I really liked the messages and information this book shared. It gave me a lot to talk about with my students.

This is a higher level picture book.

The talking bus part is a little weird, but there is a lot of great information on Rosa Parks' life in this book.

Marcie gets on a strange bus one morning and learns all about Rosa Parks and the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement through the retelling from the magic bus. A simple story, for a young audience, about Rosa Parks's courageous act that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Civil Rights Movement.
