Would be such a great book for the classroom.

I asked my students to think of a time they were made fun of, and for what reason. Then I read Ellen Oh's letter (two pages from this great book) to my students. They sat there - listening! We need to read and share these stories full of great advice.

I really enjoyed this YA book. This book had an extraordinarily diverse set of voices as well as different styles (e.g. poetry, letters, etc.). It was organized nicely, and the illustrations added, instead of distracted, from the work.

sarabearian's review against another edition

50 stories to inspire, to motivate, to offer love and hope in our current tumultuous environment and, most importantly, to encourage young activists to find ways of making a difference (it could just start in the home, offering to help clear the dinner table for example). The stories are a variety of poetry and prose, and the illustrations are so fantastic. My hope is for young readers to come across books such as this, and at least become aware of the world at large. And perhaps, if I haven’t yet run out of wishes, start to think about advocating for human rights and just societies. -Sara Z
