Work detailsBack of the Bus by Aaron Reynolds
None. This book tells in a very easily written way the story that happened to Rosa Parks in Montgomery. The author uses verses to tell the story and sometimes even uses wrong forms like "she don't" to adapt to the lower education level back then. (  ) sabrina89 | Apr 22, 2013 |  Set on December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, this story commemorates Rosa Parks' act of defiance on a segregated bus, when she refused to move from the front of the bus where only whites were allowed. It is told from the point of view of a boy on the bus. The courage shown by Rose Parks makes him feel strong instead of scared. Reading level: Ages 6 and up (  ) nbmars | Feb 25, 2013 | This book tells a different perspective of the segregation of the Montgomery Buses in the 50’s. It is told from the perspective of a young child on the same bus as Rosa Parks, and what he experienced that day. This story could be used as double duty, first as part of a social studies unit on segregation as well as a literature lesson on perspective. As a teacher, I liked seeing this common part of history be presented in a different way. ( ) JodiEasley | Dec 3, 2012 | This book is about a young black boy living in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. He sits in the back of the bus with his Mama and plays with a marble like any other day. But something special happens on this day, he witnesses an old black woman refuse to give her seat up to a white man. And in result, the police remove her from the bus. This woman was Rosa Parks. Watching this inspires the boy to be more than before. (  ) RayJones63 | Mar 21, 2012 | Back of the Bus is a book about a young man that is riding the bus the day Rosa Parks stages a sit in.
