Kid activists: true tales of childhood from champions of change

---

Before Martin Luther King Jr. inspired millions, he argued with his father about dancing. Before Helen Keller became one of the world's most influential disability-rights advocates, she faced the extraordinary challenge of learning language without being able to see or hear. Before Malala Yousafzai became a global symbol of girls' education, she was simply a child who loved learning. Through surprising stories, fascinating facts, and humorous moments, award-winning author Robin Stevenson reveals the relatable childhood experiences that helped shape these extraordinary lives.

Kid Activists tells readers 8 to 12 years old these childhood stories and more through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page. The diverse and inclusive group encompasses Susan B. Anthony, James Baldwin, Ruby Bridges, Frederick Douglass, Alexander Hamilton, Dolores Huerta, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Iqbal Masih, Harvey Milk, Janet Mock, Rosa Parks, Autumn Peltier, Emma Watson, and Malala Yousafzai.
