March On Children!

Reach for this book when your child starts noticing unfairness in the world or asks how someone as small as a kid can make a big difference. March On Children! introduces the 1963 Children's Crusade in Birmingham, Alabama, showing how young people used their voices and even faced jail to stand up for their rights. It is an empowering choice for children aged 6 to 10 who are developing a sense of social justice. The book focuses on themes of bravery, resilience, and the historical reality of the Civil Rights Movement. Parents will find it an excellent tool for explaining that bravery does not mean you aren't afraid, but rather that you do what is right even when you are. It provides a hopeful but honest framework for discussing American history and the power of collective action.
