Back of the Bus

The pictures in this book were really good. I am not sure what they were done with but I really like the way the pictures look as if they have texture. The colors are not really bright and catchy either, but I think that the way they were put together made for really lovely traditional styled pictures. I thought that this reaccount of what happened on the bus they day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat as told through a little boys eyes was very interesting. All of the picture books that I have read before that are much like this one always have little girls as the person telling the story, so it was a nice change to have a boy tell it this time. I think that because the narrator of the story is a boy this would be a great way to get boys more interested in the things that Rosa Parks did and help them understand that what she did was to help men and women alike.
