About This Book
This engaging chapter book is a 'keep-it-real' guide from Marley Dias, the phenomenal young activist who started the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign. Marley shares her personal story, from identifying a problem (lack of diverse books) to taking action and creating a global movement. She breaks down complex topics like activism, social justice, equity, and inclusion into accessible concepts for young readers. The book encourages children to find their own passions, leverage their unique strengths, and collaborate with parents, teachers, and friends to turn their dreams of making a difference into reality. It's an inspiring read for children aged 8-12 who are curious about social change and want to learn how to make an impact.
