title: The Little Book of Little Activists
author: Penguin Young Readers
description: Gr 14Featured in this book are photographs of some of the youngest participants of the historical 2017 Women's March. From two sisters holding a poster with quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. to a little boy holding a handwritten sign that reads "Girls should be treated fairly," the visual imagery successfully communicates the energy of the Women's March and similar protests. Many of the photographs are paired with additional quotes from the children, such as words from Maddie, age 14, instructing readers to "Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes." Also interspersed throughout are basic definitions related to the democratic process, including the meanings of democracy, equality, and freedom. A forward from Bob Bland, cochair of the Women's March, and an afterword from Lynda Blackmon Lowery, author of Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom, provide additional context for more mature readers. While this text can provide an unintimidating introduction to political activism for children, young readers may lack the background and perspective to understand the significance of the events and would need this book to be paired with a discussion about the democratic process, peaceful protests, and the status of civil rights throughout history and today. Adults who participated and supported the Women's March or similar events will appreciate the reminder that the positive impacts of political activism reverberate through future generations. VERDICT An inspiring reminder that people of any age can play a role in the quest for social justice. A general addition to nonfiction collections.Alyssa Annico, Youngstown State University, OH
