David A. Adler is the author of many popular books for children,
including biographies, math books, and Judaica. His strong interest
in history and biography led to his bestselling Picture Book
Biography series. He lives in New York State with his wife and
family.
Robert Casilla is the illustrator of several titles in David A.
Adler's Picture Book Biography series, with subjects that include
Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Jesse
Owens. He lives in Connecticut.
"In this volume of his fine Picture Book Biography series for younger readers, Adler sets the life story of Rosa Parks within the history of the civil-rights movement. The simple narrative text and the dramatic color illustrations show the discrimination that was common when Parks was growing up . . . In addition to the sweeping political scenes, there are portraits by Casilla that capture the ordinary person who made a difference. "—Booklist
