Set #2:Rosa

Giovanni, N., & Collier, B.(2005). Rosa. New York: Henry Holt. Rosa Parks contribution to the civil rights movement in America is presented through water color, collage art and personal narrative. Rosa's experience is presented in a style that is accurate, but additional personal recollection is included. This allows the reader to experience Rosa's day to day life throughout this turbulent time. The use of collage is very effective in conveying the experiences of the characters. The illustrator focuses on minute details such as Rosa's hand and the post bills to contrast how small she is in comparison to what she faces in her act of civil disobedience.
