A review by angiew23
History Comics: Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin: Civil Rights Heroes by Tracey Baptiste

5.0

This beautifully illustrated and written graphic novel tells of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the civil rights movement in a way that readers are sure to understand. With large, aesthetically pleasing illustrations and clear, accessible text in speech bubbles, readers will be able to follow the story and learn history in a fun way. I love the way that the author and illustrator demonstrated segregation through images as well as through words, especially the segregated schools picture. I think that young readers will be interested and understand the problems this book discusses. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers wanting to share these powerful stories with their students, not just during Black History Month, but all year round. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!
