Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Jared Andrew Schorr. PICTURE BOOK. Simon & Schuster, 2018. $18. 9781534429437
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
This book is predominately a list of actions anyone can take in order to make a difference politically. The first calls to action listed are, “Assemble. Take action. Create allies.” The illustrations are all cut paper with a lot of patterns and details.
I found this book moving and motivating. I’m not usually a big fan of cut paper illustrations, but I love these - there is a lot of intricate layering in the illustrations. The actions listed are all reachable for young readers and make the idea of making a difference tangible.
