Remember when Michael Jackson told us to start with the Man in the Mirror if we wanted to see change in the world? That's how this book starts out. Kids learn about self-care, how to be kind, how to recognize their own emotions and harness the power of positive thinking. Once you are taking acre of yourself, then you can start to branch out to others around you, friends and family, in your community, and beyond. You also learn about lots of famous activists and their causes. Bonus points for the special section on spotting fake news, which is a rampant issue we all should be thinking about.
There's a lot of information on these pages and lots of ideas for activities that you can do. Some of the pages feel a little busy because there is SO much information on them with the pictures. But it is a lot of good information. You can start with one or two small activities and build up to the bigger ones. Plus there's a whole list of resources and organizations in the back.
Kids today are even more interesting in becoming activists than before. Or at least it is getting a lot more attention than when I was a kid. This book is definitely going to appeal to those kids who want to make a change in this world. My inner tween/teenager flashed back and started feeling a little ramped up to start implementing some of these changes and activities even now as an adult.
