Andrea Davis Pinkney and Brian Pinkney present a poignant, blues-infused tribute to the men and women of the Montgomery bus boycott, who refused to give up until they got justice. Color and movement are vibrant components in this extraordinary book about Rosa Parks's efforts to take down Jim Crow. (School Library Journal starred review)

Rosa Parks took a stand by keeping her seat on the bus. When she was arrested for it, her supporters protested by refusing to ride. Soon a community of thousands was coming together to help one another get where they needed to go. Some started taxis, some rode bikes, but they all walked and walked.

With dogged feet. With dog-tired feet. With boycott feet. With boycott blues.

And, after 382 days of walking, they walked Jim Crow right out of town. . . .

This story begins with shoes.
This story is all for true.
This story walks. And walks. And walks.
To the blues.

The moving poetry and the art, with thick, swirling ink lines on bright washes in red, blue, purple, and green, express the dramatic confrontations and the inspiring history. Great for reading aloud. (Booklist starred review)

Worth Every Penny for Workouts & Daily Walks
Size: 12lb, Color: Black, Size: 12lb, Color: Black
I’ve been using this weighted vest for my workouts and even during daily walks, and it has made such a difference. The weight feels evenly distributed, so it’s comfortable to wear without putting too much strain on my shoulders or back. I love that it adds an extra challenge to simple workouts without needing extra equipment. The straps are adjustable, which helped me get a secure fit, and the material feels durable and well made. As a busy mom always trying to squeeze in movement wherever I can, this vest helps me make even short workouts feel more effective. Definitely a great addition to my fitness routine!

LOVE
Size: 12lb, Color: Black
The ZELUS weighted vest is a solid addition to any workout routine, whether you’re walking, running, or doing strength training. It feels well-balanced when worn, and the weight is distributed evenly so it doesn’t feel awkward or shift too much during movement. The material is durable and holds up well during regular use, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get a secure, comfortable fit for different body types. I also like the reflective stripe—it’s a great safety feature for outdoor workouts, especially in low light. It adds just the right amount of resistance without feeling overly bulky, which makes it great for increasing workout intensity gradually. The vest stays in place pretty well once adjusted, and it doesn’t restrict movement too much. Overall, this is a practical and effective weighted vest that’s comfortable enough for consistent use. A great option for anyone looking to level up their cardio or strength training.

Doesn’t look like a tactical vest
Size: 20lb, Color: Black
Affordable and easy to wear for a nice rucking session around my city neighborhood. Strap design fits comfortably around my shoulder. Tends to rub my traps after a long session, but that could be due to posture. Clips securely but straps are too long. Fits under hoodie very nicely.
