Rosa Parks & Ruby Bridges

After reading about MLK, Jr., we started reading books about Rosa Parks & then Ruby Bridges.
Alexandra & I both really respect both of these ladies. She hopes to meet Ruby Bridges some day. Here are some books we both enjoyed:

Rosa Parks:
  • "A Picture Book of Rosa Parks" by David A. Adler (we love all of these "picture books" by Adler!)
  • "I Am Rosa Parks" by Rosa Parks with Jim Haskins
  • "If a Bus Could Talk: the Story of Rosa Parks" by Faith Ringgold
Ruby Bridges:
  • "The Story of Ruby Bridges" by Robert Coles
  • movie: "Ruby Bridges" - great movie - we both enjoyed it alot
