Set in Montgomery, Alabama, the story unfolds through the innocent perspective of a child riding the bus with his mother. As they sit at the back, a disturbance arises when Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat, prompting the arrival of a policeman. The child's observations capture the tension and significance of the moment, while his mother's strength hints at the profound impact of Parks' defiance. With vivid illustrations and simple language, the narrative powerfully conveys a pivotal moment in history that resonates with the young narrator.
