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.
