Publisher Description
You have what it takes to change the world!
This is the empowering message parenting author and podcaster Cindy Wang Brandt wants every child to hear and embrace. In this inspiring picture book she speaks to every child who sees injustice in the world, revealing that they already have inside themselves everything they need to make big, transformative change in the world--just as they are. Every kid is a revolutionary! You don't need to wait until you grow up. You don't even need any special skills. Kids who are loud, kids who are quiet, kids who make art, kids who are good at math, kids with lots of energy, kids who are good listeners--all kids have what it takes to make a difference.
Lynnor Bontigao's vibrant illustrations feature a diverse group of children taking up a call to action and using their individual gifts to change the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Narrating from an adult's perspective to a child, Wang Brandt offers an uplifting, simply worded picture book about noticing injustice and making change in the world. Acknowledging that adults may disparage or discredit children's aptitude, the narrative encourages young readers to use their talents and do what they can anyway, offering options (for big dreamers, math whizzes, and writers, among others) in uneven rhyme: "You can be fierce and feisty,/ or you can be soft and tender./ To fix the world's big problems/ we need both defenders and menders." Speaking up and using creativity to "change people's hearts" are all promoted in turn. Bontigao's bright, approachable illustrations trace a parallel narrative of children of varying abilities, ages, religions, and skin tones supporting unhoused neighbors by raising funds, writing op-eds, and holding clothing drives, reifying some actions any child can partake in order to promote change. Ages 4–7.
