If A Bus Coould Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks

This was the first book that I read by Faith Ringgold and I absoulutely loved it. I thought that it was a really creative idea to take the story of Rosa Parks and talk about it from the perspective of the bus. I also really enjoyed the art work and the fact that she switched up where the text would be on the pages. I actually used this book in a second grade classroom paired with a rap song that I found about Rosa Parks and the students really enjoyed the lesson. I did not hear any groans about already knowing who Rosa Parks was or anything like that. I believe that they enjoyed the lesson so much because it was a new way for looking at the story of Rosa Parks.
