Bookroo's summary

Explore the formative years of Rosa Parks, from her days at a one-room schoolhouse to her curiosity about 'white' water. Witness the moments that molded a future civil rights leader, inspiring her journey toward justice and equality. What experiences ignited her courage and resolve?

From the publisher

No discussion of the Civil Rights Movement is complete without the story of Rosa Parks. But what was this activist like as a child? Following young Rosa from a fishing creek to a one-room schoolhouse, from her wearing homemade clothes to wondering what white water tastes like, readers will be inspired by the experiences that shaped one of the most famous African-Americans in history.
