A Bus of Our Own

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-0970-1 $$15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Shawn Costello. In a sometimes sentimental text, Evans tells about the events leading up to the acquisition of a school bus for blacks in a rural Mississippi community during segregation. The illustrations adequately capture the mood of the text, though a lack of detail results in rather fuzzy compositions. An author's note provides details about the actual events that inspired the book.
