Peter and the Boycott

By Avery Liell-Kok and Yolanda L. Everett

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a thirteen-month mass protest that was sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), with Dr. Martin Luther King as president, coordinated the boycott to take place on Dec. 5, 1955. It was his first role as a civil rights leader.
This would be an important day for ten-year-old Charles Patterson Everett IV (Peter), who doesnt quite understand all the talk about boycotts. He eventually gains an understanding of the meaning of it all after hearing Dr. King speak, learning a valuable lesson that would stick with him for a lifetime.

Avery Liell-Kok

I was born to a large family, my father was the only child . He made it known to us how much he hated not having a sister or a brother, if he was alive today, he would not like the fact that I have only one, I must say that my wife And I love children. I was raised in a small town of about 5700 people, a few miles north of Houston. My parents did not worry much about danger to us where we lived, and there was the least worry about us being bullied in school. Today however, we live in a totally different world. It was only after my son graduated from high school that I became aware of some of the things he suffered from the words of the other children. One of the missed signs was that he was not doing good in school, but we knew he could do the work. After entering college he excelled to the point of tutoring others at school. He was invited to return to the college speak to other graduating classes. Raising him helped me to appreciate that daily talks with our young ones are very important. This children book is about a four old that because of seeing his sister and brother go to school everyday cannot wait to go to school, Only to find that the other children excludes him and they are very mean to him. I hope that it help your young ones to know what action he or she should take if they are ever faced with bullying. And how they should treat others.
