Product Description

March through history and discover twenty-five groundbreaking protest movements that have shaped the way we fight for equality and justice today in this stunningly illustrated and sweeping book!

For generations, marches have been an invaluable tool for bringing about social change. People have used their voices, the words on their signs, and the strength in their numbers to combat inequality, oppression, and discrimination. They march to call attention to these wrongs and demand change and action, from a local to a global scale.

Whether demanding protective laws or advocating for equal access to things like voting rights, public spaces, and jobs, the twenty-five marches in this book show us that even when a fight seems impossible, marching can be the push needed to tip the scales and create a movement. This gorgeous collection celebrates this rich and diverse history, the often-overlooked stories, and the courageous people who continue to teach us the importance of coming together to march today.

From School Library Journal

Gr 47Henderson introduces elementary school students to the time-honored practice of peacefully marching to advocate for a cause. Setting the stage is a clear introduction to the ways marching can be an effective action that brings attention to an issue. The main text covers important marches throughout recent history, devoting a two-page spread to each, beginning with the March of the Mill Children in 1903 and concluding with Justice for George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. The author highlights influential protest movements around the globe, including well-known demonstrations such as the 1963 Children's March as well as marches not typically covered in the classroom like the Bulgarian Jews March of 1943. The appealingly simple, cartoonish illustrations give the impression of a book for younger readers, but the dense text in small print addresses an ambitious scope of information and assumes some knowledge of world history, making this volume more suitable for upper elementary or middle school students. Despite this imbalance, this title provides a compelling look at marching as a vehicle for change, and effectively conveys the idea that marching for a cause is an activity shared by people throughout history and across cultures. VERDICT A solid source for school reports and a good introduction to a peaceful path to spur political progress. A recommended purchase for large school and public library collections.Allison Tran, Mission Viejo Lib., CA

Review

* "All kinds of marchesmany linked to children and youthare described in lively language and illustrated with bright cartoons that emphasize diversity among participants and illustrate the banners and posters carried. ... Connections among marches and themes repeated due to unchanging social and political conditions are pointed out and are one of the books strengths.... This inspiring book will encourage activism." -- Kirkus Reviews - starred review December 2020
