About the Author
Veronica I. Arreola is a professional feminist, writer, and mom. She loves school so much, she never left college and works in higher education. You can find Veronica playing 16-inch softball, indoor rock climbing, or cheering on women's sports. She lives in Chicago with her college-aged daughter.
María Díaz Perera was born in Gijón, a small town in the north of Spain. At a very young age she found out there were few things in life she enjoyed as much as listening to the Beatles and drawing. When she grew up, she studied Art History at the University of Oviedo and then Graphic Design at the Art School of Avilés. Nowadays, María still listens to the Beatles and feels fortunate to earn a living doing what she loves most: illustration.
Reviews
Arreola and Díaz Perera combine efforts on a book to introduce young readers to justice and activism. Readers will find concepts such as dream and inclusion, tools such as clipboards and whiteboards, and leaders such as Shirley Chisholm, John Lewis, Malcolm X, and Jessica Govea as they flip through the pages of this alphabetically-organized resource. Full-color, cartoon-like illustrations show people of a variety of abilities and ethnicities while maintaining a positive, light-hearted tone. Although printed on a durable board book-like stock, the length of the text contained within this slender, twenty-page book makes it more suitable for elementary students. Although it may have benefited from the addition of a bibliography for additional resources to read, this is a good resource for starting discussions about justice and advocacy. It can help children to gain a vocabulary around social concerns and it can be used to support children in thinking about how they can become involved with issues that matter to them. A good resource for home, school, or public libraries.--Children's Literature "Children's Literature" (9/19/2023 12:00:00 AM)
