"When it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it. You can't sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, ‘This is not right.'" – Claudette Colvin On March 2, 1955, an impassioned teenager, fed up with the daily injustices of Jim Crow segregation, refused to give her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Instead of being celebrated as Rosa Parks would be just nine months later, fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin found herself shunned by her classmates and dismissed by community leaders. Undaunted, a year later she dared to challenge segregation again as a key plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, the landmark case that struck down the segregation laws of Montgomery and swept away the legal underpinnings of the Jim Crow South. Based on extensive interviews with Claudette Colvin and many others, Phillip Hoose presents the first in-depth account of an important yet largely unknown civil rights figure, skillfully weaving her dramatic story into the fabric of the historic Montgomery bus boycott and court case that would change the course of American history. Claudette Colvin is the 2009 National Book Award Winner for Young People's Literature and a 2010 Newbery Honor Book.

Claudette grew up as an African American in 1950s Alabama. There were a lot of unfair laws that kept black people like her from doing, going, or becoming what they wanted, but Claudette stood up for what was right. Before Rosa Parks could take her famous bus ride, at just 15 years old Claudette broke the law when she refused to give up her seat on a city bus, and her story kickstarted the Civil Right Movement.The books in The Little-Known Heroes series are intended to be read by parents and children together, with three goals in mind: 1) Show heroes from marginalized, minority or under-represented groups, so that children from these groups can see heroes that look like them, and so that (perhaps more importantly,) other kids can see heroes who don't look like them.2) Give children heroes who are or were real people, instead of the fictional superheroes in Marvel movies. We want children to know what real life heroism looks like, and know that they can be a hero too.3) Inspire meaningful conversation between parents and children about hard topics. We break down difficult subjects from racism to the Holocaust to be understood by as young an age as possible, giving parents a springboard to open these conversations, as well as example language they can use. Kids are naturally curious, so they'll likely ask why Claudette Colvin wasn't allowed to sit where she wanted on the bus. We've even made resources for parents to make these conversations as easy and natural as possible! See them at thelittleknownheroes.com. We believe that if children from as early as age as possible learn to openly discuss hard topics with their parents, that openness and trust will last their entire lives.We believe that these discussions happening early and often will eventually make society better, as kids learn to grapple with, discuss, and apply what they learn about difficult things with their parents' help.We hope you enjoy learning about these heroes as much as we did!
