\"3017415400001Z\"<\/a>“A woman who changed the world. Ben is disappointed when his grandfather only wants to show him an old bus in the museum. But then he listens spellbound to Rosa Parks’ story: In 1955, his grandfather sat next to Rosa Parks on this very bus when she refused to give up her seat for a white man. And this brave no should move the whole world! […] Rosa Park’s arrest was the catalyst for the emergence of the black civil rights movement in the U.S. led by Martin Luther King.”<\/p>\n

In his children’s book, Fabrizio Silei tells this important episode of black history in a child-friendly and vivid way. He succeeds in conveying a sense of the injustice that befell black people in the course of so-called racial segregation and continues to do so today as a result of racism.
\n“The Rosa Parks Bus” is a story for children ages 6 and up. The book is illustrated in large-scale watercolors by artist Maurizio Quarello that vividly transport the reader to the present day of the 1950s in the United States.<\/p>\n
