Book-A-Day 23

The Bus Ride by William Miller is a story inspired by Rosa Parks.  In the book, a young girl named Sara decides she wants to see what is so special about sitting at the front of the bus.  Since Sara is not allowed to sit in the front, she takes the steps to the forbidden open seat and sits down.  Sara takes a stand (or seat) for herself and refuses to leave.  Eventually, the police get involved and remove her from the bus.  However, Sara's stand encourages others.  Many rally against the buses and avoid riding.  Although a little girl, Sara's story is an example of it taking only one (even a child) to make a change.  #BookADay23
