Children's Literature
Sharing my thoughts on some exceptional books...
Giovanni, N., & Collier, B. (2005). Rosa. New York: Henry Holt. This is a nonfiction picture book about the life of Rosa Parks. It begins with giving background knowledge of Rosa as a seamstress. She is a hard worker and a talented seamstress. One day is December of 1955, she decides to leave work early. When she is seated on the bus, she is asked by a white person to give up her seat. She refuses. She knows that she will be arrested for not complying, but she stands her ground and does not give in. After her arrest, the Women's Political Council receives word of what has happened and they decide to help boycott the buses. Martin Luther King Jr. joins and leads the Civil Rights Movement. The technique of collaging the illustrator uses creates large and lively pictures that will surely grab the attention of young children. Other books by the illustrator Bryan Collier are: Knock Knock: My Daddy's Dream for Me, and Uptown
