seat to a white man on a segregated bus, sparking the Montgomery
Bus Boycott. Her courageous decision had a huge impact on civil
rights, eventually leading to the end of segregation on public
transport. She never stopped working for equal rights. This moving
book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at
the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos
and a detailed profile of the activist's life. Little People, BIG
DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that
