Giovanni, N. (2005). Rosa. NY: Holt.
Rosa Parks is a woman of strength for the people of the United States. In this story of her heroic efforts to stand up for equal rights for all people, the author takes you behind the scenes of how others gathered in support of Rosa Parks. After almost a year in jail, she was released and the laws were changed. This book is a Caldecott Honor Book and has beautiful illustrations. The illustrations are a combination of drawings and clippings from other types of media sources, such as scrapbook paper. The setting and characters are layered on the page, creating a 3D visual effect.
