Why read it?
1 author picked Back of the Bus as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My daughter and I read this book together which started a conversation about Rosa Parks, racism, and courage.

The ending beautifully articulated how our courage gives others hope that they can also be courageous.
From Tasha's list on how to live courageously.
