A primer for peaceful protest, resistance, and activism from the author of Rodzilla and Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag.

Protesting. Standing up for what’s right. Uniting around the common good—kids have questions about all of these things they see and hear about each day. Through sparse and lyrical writing, Rob Sanders introduces abstract concepts like “fighting for what you believe in” and turns them into something actionable. Jared Schorr’s bold, bright illustrations brings the resistance to life making it clear that one person can make a difference. And together, we can accomplish anything.

About the Author

Rob Sanders is a writer who teaches and a teacher who writes. Every day he goes to Mintz Elementary School in Brandon, Florida, to teach kids about books and words and reading and writing. Then he heads back home to write books for children. On weekends and holidays, you might find him hanging with his dog, Baxter; spending time at the beach with his great-nieces and -nephews; or talking with other children’s writers. Nothing makes his heart dance more than hearing boys and girls say, “Read it again!” --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rob Sanders is a teacher who writes, and a writer who teaches. He does not work as a telephone sales rep, a loading dock worker, a trophy engraver, or an editor. But he used to. Rob is not a cowboy, a ballerina, an alien, or a temper-tantrum-throwing toddler. But he writes about them. Rob is a picture book author, a writing teacher, a sometimes blogger, and a dog lover. He worked for fifteen years in religious educational publishing as a writer, editor, editorial manager, and product designer. These days he teaches elementary kids about books and words and reading and writing, and writes books for those same kids.

Not only does Rob write fiction, he also writes nonfiction picture books. His first nonfiction picture book was PRIDE: THE STORY OF HARVEY MILK AND THE RAINBOW FLAG (Random House, 2018). Forthcoming nonfiction picture books include: PEACEFUL FIGHTS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2018); and STONEWALL: A BUILDING. AN UPRISING. A REVOLUTION. (Random House, 2019). But he'll always write fiction too, including BALL & BALLOON (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2019).

Great book that teaches children about the power of their voices and actions

Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2019

This is a wonderful book that my 4 year old adores. It's an inspiring little book about the power of community. Ignore the one star reviews posted by right wing trolls. You won't regret buying this book!

Facism?

Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2018

I don't believe it is appropriate to indoctrinate young children to be radical activists. Thankfully we live in a country where these kinds of books can be authored but thankfully we can also discourage others from buying propaganda.

A beautiful and simple introduction to civic engagement

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was recommended through a Facebook parenting group. A mom read it and loved it, but then she noticed there are quite a few one-star reviews that seem to have an idealogical bent. My advice is to ignore whatever troll campaign sent the one-star reviewers, and buy it for yourself and your kiddos! I've bought one for my family and will be giving others as Christmas presents.

Back to the book: the art is gorgeous, the content is beautiful and relatable--my kids were able to recognize voting, making protest posters, and other activities they have participated in. It's a perfect introduction to civic engagement and peaceful protest. There is nothing age-inappropriate or scandalous, unless equal rights seem unfair to you (here's looking at you, Brian Kemp)! There is an adorable page of construction workers and one is baby-wearing. My kids identified that as their Daddy (who works in construction) right away! My favorite page reads: "Inquire. Inform. Imagine. Invite. Join others on the journey. Join others in the fight." Buy it patriots, you won't regret it!

This book is thoughtful and beautifully illustrated. It offers positive images and positive language to help children understand a very important set of vocabulary words. It is timely, but also reflective of an ongoing pattern of challenge in our history. It is written simply yet presents great opportunity for opening discussion for different age/maturity levels.

A Great Addition to Your School or Classroom Library

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I was in a workshop where Mr. Sanders spoke to future teachers about writing and I was so impressed when he was sharing this book (It was in pre-production) I had to get a copy when it released. I was not disappointed! This book is inspiring, powerful, fun to read, tour through the alphabet that gently reminds students to stand up for what they believe in, and to approach it in numerous ways that leaders did before us. This is a great teaching tool for a classroom lesson, or to be used as a supplemental book for a history unit. As a future teacher, I look forward to adding this powerful book to my classroom library!

Peaceful is the key!

This is a BEAUTIFUL book! I have taught for 45 years (kindergarten thru fourth grade) and this book would be a great addition to any classroom. I plan to use it for Dr. King's birthday along with books I have about MLK. It's message can help shy children speak up for themselves and others to slow down and listen. We can all make a difference our space and time. Highly recommend!
