Book about Rosa Parks by Lisbeth Kaiser, illustrated by Marta Antelo, translated by Françoise Major
As a child, Rosa Parks was already sensitive to the injustices suffered by black people in the southern United States. While white people took the bus to their big school, she had to walk miles to get to her tiny one. This quiet but determined woman became famous for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the bus, as the law of the time required. Her gesture served as a trigger for a large-scale movement: the boycott of Montgomery buses. Rosa Parks is an important figure in the fight against racial segregation in public places.
Carried by colorful and lively illustrations, the book De petite à grande, Rosa Parks allows us to address important and necessary themes such as equal rights and self-respect.
