Review
"Long before Rosa Parks, a group of African American sharecroppers in a rural community in Mississippi organized their own bus so that their children could get to school. The story is based on a real event, and Evans tells it through the eyes of a young child, Mable Jean, who is desperate to get to school, but just can't keep up with her older brother and make the five-mile walk there and back every day. Set in the South more than 50 years ago, Costello's oil paintings show the suffering (in one unforgettable double-page spread the white kids on the bus jeer as they pass the walking children) but also the determination of the black community.... The drama is in the Facts about what ordinary people did together."
From the Inside Flap
Mable Jean wants to go to school. She has to walk five miles to get there, though, and her papa told her that if she can't keep up, she'll have to wait another year. Mable Jean asks her parents why the black children don't have a bus, too.
