Boycott Blues is a story of Rosa Parks told in a bluesy, jazzy narration. In the background of the illustrations the reader can find a hound dog strumming his old guitar and imagine the sound of him telling this story in a sing-songing voice. The story is inspirational and relays the struggles of Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as they lead African Americans in a fight for equal laws and treatment against the Jim Crow laws. Imagine yourself reading this story out loud and you might best picture yourself standing on stage with a guitar and jazz band behind you as you read the rythmic lyrics. Some of you readers out there, if you're brave like Rosa Parks, might make a podcast for the rest of us to enjoy!
