Books like this are great for sparking interest in the youngest readers. My 4 year old has been obsessed with Rosa Parks lately and this is another book we enjoyed to add to our collection! It keeps things simple and is appropriate for little learners!

I really like the idea of teaching kids about Rosa Parks in an easy and accessible way mainly via pictures. The illustrations were great, too.

These books are amazing and I love all of them. Great introduction to a major civil rights figure and a great starting point for children, as always colourful illustrations draw you in. The details in the illustrations alone can help discussion points. A wonderful series

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Very well written and illustrated in simple short phrases the author paints Rosa Parks struggle and triumphs with the Civil rights movement. This is excellent for toddlers and parents who want to expose their children to historic figures.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have bought several of the 'Little People, Big Dreams' book series for the school library and would encourage others to do so too. They offer an insight into the lives of people who genuinely made a difference for a variety of reasons. I find the texts engaging and the visual style is perfect to hold the readers interest. The Rosa Parks text will be easily accessed by a wide age range of students. Alone, I found it to be a little scant on detail for my upper primary class but it will be an excellent introduction to her life and will prompt more indepth discussion about her beliefs and achievements. I'll be adding several copies to our school library.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book gives a glimpse into Rosa's life and tells the story of her childhood during the segregation and of her battle for civil rights. It's so nice for children to have this book so they can read about such a remarkable woman who changed the entire nation with a simple "no".

I am constantly marveled at the consistent and divine pleasure of these annotated biographies with amazing illustrations. This is another gem in the "Little People, Big World" series!

The same stunning quality, illustrations and passion have clearly gone into this version from Little People, Big Dreams.
My First... Is going to be a perfect collection in order to introduce the reader’s own little ones to heroes that have made our world a better place.
It will make the perfect building block to the traditional publication that includes a timeline and further information.
