Giovanni, Nikki. (2005). Rosa. (1st. ed.). Henry Holt and Co. New York, N.Y.
Rosa, also a Caldecott Honor book, is a short biography of one of the bravest civil rights activist who ever lived. I loved Rosa. This book left me wanting to find out more about Mrs. Rosa Parks. I've read several stories about the civil rights movement. Yet, this book helped me to relate to how it feels to do a hard day's work and how I would feel if this had happened to me. I learned things about Mrs. Parks that I did not know before.
This book is full of history and information. The illustrations were rich and powerful. The flat geometric shapes helped to push the three dimensional figures and objects foward and emphasize their importance within the story.
