Bookroo's summary

In 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. Told in a cumulative rhythm that builds page by page, this picture book shows how one brave act sparked the bus boycott and the civil rights movement, while two young narrators connect the history to their own lives.
