Summary

Change takes courage. Introduce your young activist to America's most influential protesters in this lushly illustrated picture book. Stand beside contemporary groundbreakers like Colin Kaepernick and transgender teen Jazz Jennings, and march in the footsteps of historical revolutionaries such as Harriet Tubman and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This moving text opens with a foreword from a Parkland shooting survivor and is perfect for those not quite ready for Little Leaders and She Persisted.

America has been molded and shaped by those who have taken a stand and said they have had enough. In this dynamic picture book, stand alongside the nation's most iconic civil and human rights leaders, whose brave actions rewrote history.

Join Samuel Adams as he masterminds the Boston Tea Party, Ruby Bridges on her march to school, Colin Kaepernick as he takes a knee for Black lives, and the multitude of other American activists whose peaceful protests have ushered in lasting change.

With a foreword from a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting, this succinct text paired with striking illustrations is a compelling read-together story for little activists who are just starting to find their voice.

Backmatter extends the text with short bios about each protester to provide additional context about their respective movement and the form of protest they used.

Horn Book Review

Each spread of this book features a person, pair, or group that became known for their change-making actions, which are briefly described in a line of text (e.g., "Colin took a knee") and ably represented in a large illustration. While the protestors will be familiar to most adult readers, younger readers may benefit from the additional biographical information found at book's end. (c) Copyright 2019.

Kirkus Review

A shoutout to heroes of nonviolent protest, from Sam Adams to the Parkland students.Kicking off a proud tradition, "Samuel threw a tea party." In the same vein, "Harriet led the way," "Susan cast her vote," "Rosa kept her seat," "Ruby went to school," and "Martin had a dream." But Easton adds both newer and less-prominent names to the familiar roster: "Tommie and John raised their fists" (at the 1968 Summer Olympics, also depicted on the cover), for instance; "John and Yoko stayed in bed"; "Gilbert sewed a rainbow" (for San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day parade in 1978); "Jazz wore a dress"; and "America [Ferrera] said, Time's up.' " Viewed from low or elevated angles that give them a monumental look, the grave, determined faces of the chosen subjects shine with lapidary dignity in Chen's painted, close-up portraits. Variations in features and skin tone are rather subtle, but in general both the main lineup and groups of onlookers are visibly diverse. The closing notes are particularly valuablenot only filling in the context and circumstances of each act of protest (and the full names of the protesters), but laying out its personal consequences: Rosa Parks and her husband lost their jobs, as did Ruby Bridges' first-grade teacher, and Tommie Smith and John Carlos were banned for life from Olympic competition. Pull quotes in both the art and the endnotes add further insight and inspiration.Timely and stirring. (Informational picture book. 6-10) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
