Format:Paperback
a nice book, easy to read and understand. A great message and insight into Rosa's story. Well worth reading but can be read in an hour. I wouldn't purchase it, but rent it from a library

Format:Paperback
Throughout reading the book, it felt like having a simple conversation with Rosa Parks herself - like a conversation that a mother would have with her daughter. I read it in one sitting and I enjoyed it and it made me realise how much courage and determination black people in those days had to have for me to be treated the way I am - equally - even though I live in England. I just wish I knew the real Rosa Parks more because the book does exactly what it says on the tin - tells her story - but it doesn't tell us who she was as a person except when describing her childhood.
Format:Paperback
I was always very interested in the civil rights movement, but never had very good knowledge - I just knew the view of M. L. King, and that was it. This story fills the gaps and shows you the history from different angle. It's simply written, organized and it takes you into the story very easily. If you are interested in this part of world history, this is a must-read, I guess. Well done!

pretty good i would recommmend it to someone
I thought this book was very interesting and fun to read. It was a little boring at the beginning when she talks about her ancestors but it got better.
