When Rosa Parks Went Fishing

by Rachel Ruiz, Chiara Fedele (Illustrator)

Overview

Following young Rosa from a fishing creek to a one-room schoolhouse, from her wearing homemade clothes to wondering what "white" water tastes like, readers will be inspired by the experiences that shaped one of the most famous African-Americans in history.
