Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus - December 1, 1955. (I learned that from Google today ). If I had realized this earlier I could have posted in enough time for folks to track down some books. But still wanted to post so suggested picture books just in case you can get them or at least for this week.

Boycott Blues (Andrea Pinkney)
Rosa (Nikki Giovanni)
If a Bus Could talk (Faith Ringgold)
Back of the Bus (Aaron reynolds)
Rosa's Bus (Jo Kittinger)

I especially like Back of the Bus - told from the perspective of a young boy in the bus observing. Boycott Blues is another favorite.
