As a new wave of protests sweeps the nation and the world, young readers will be inspired by these accounts of activists who refused to be ignored.

"This book is right on time."--Nikki Grimes, Children's Literature Legacy Medal Winner

From music to marches, from sit-ins to walk-outs, activists throughout history have defended the disenfranchised and demanded reform, refusing to back down even in the face of violent oppression and overwhelming opposition. Today, a new generation of activists has arisen, speaking up in unprecedented numbers against systemic oppression, bias, and injustice.

Resist , a collection of 21 brief but comprehensive essays accompanied by striking artwork and rich supplementary material by Diane Stanley, reminds us of the activists who came before: the men and women who have used peaceful resistance and non-violent protests to make their voices heard.

Featured figures include: Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Woody Guthrie, Mohandas Gandhi, Irena Sendler, The Hollywood Ten, Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, The Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-in protestors, Martin Luther King, Jr., Larry Itliong, Doloras Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Richard Oakes, The Tree-Sitters of Pureora, Father Luis Olivares, Tank Man, Nelson Mandela, Ryan White, Ai Weiwei, the "It Gets Better" Project, The March For Our Lives protestors, and Greta Thunberg.

Diane Stanley, award-winning author and illustrator of many distinctive informational books for young people writes with passion and conviction of the world's greatest activists, past and present, in this book which is as hopeful as it is inspiring.

Fantastic books_ fun and valuable message
Format: Board book
With 12 different books, this is perfect for little girls who love princesses. I love that they don't just tell the same princess story, but they each have a different value on them to teach kids. Good values and virtues.

Beautiful book for kids sadly really bad packaging and shipment
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
SUPER PRETTY BOOK!!!! 🥹🤎🤎🤎🤎 EXCEPT packaging and shipment considering it's an international shipment. Living it here because CS team restricted my account saying I kept asking for refund or replacement. What do they want me to do? Don't believe their "we trust you" if they have told you "you DONOT need to share proof", thats a lie.

Really simple stories, really small book, but good
Format: Board book
I thought these books were gonna be a little bigger but they are pretty small. But it ends up being a nice easy carry for the child. The stories are super summarized versions of the stories if they can,skipping a whole lot, or just like this princess knows or likes or does this and this is why they are insert adjective of story here. They have great pictures for the Littles to look at and super easy pages for them to turn.
