Fantastic book! This book covers activism, disabilities, LBGTQ, gender, race...it’s all in here. No Voice too Small also includes poetry. This is a must have for 4th and up.

Such an important book to share with young people in hopes that the message will sink in---you can change the world if you want to. Use your brain power and your creative ideas. I also enjoyed the poems that were created in different poetic forms.

The book No Voice to Small is written by G. Neri, Leslea Newman, Fiona Morris, S. Bear Bergman, Janet Wong, Traci Sorell, Nickki Grimes, Joseph Bruchac, Hena Khan, Andrea J. Loney, Keila V. Dawson, Carole Boston Weatherford, Jeanette Bradley, Charles Waters, and Lindsay H. Metclaf. It was illustrated by Jeanette Bradley and published in 2020. This poetry book would be great for students in upper elementary through middle school (4th-8th grade). It is a collection of poems written by fourteen individuals trying to make a difference in the world they live in. The authors are students working with others to change the world. This book could be read in entirety or divided into individual poems. It could be used as a read aloud for a poetry unit or used as an independent read for students in the classroom. The book contains many different types of poetry and has resources in the back of the book that help students understand the types of poetry presented in the book. <Poetry> <World Changers> <Children> <Difference Makers>

Fourteen (or so -- I didn't check for duplicates) poets write poems about fourteen kids who are working to make a difference in issues ranging from school bullying to sexual assault, from cancer,
to diabetes, from global warming to water pollution. Each kid gets an illustration showing them in action, a poem (and a identification of the type of poem), a text description of their work, and a short blurb for the reader about how they can also do work. It's a fun read and I also enjoyed recognizing the different poetic forms and getting refreshers on the ones I'm vague on. The afterward gives more information on the poetic forms and on the poets.
It's a fun book to read, but I'm not sure it's the best way to achieve any of the objectives. But it would be a good start, either for ideas for ways kids can make a difference or for ways to write poetry.
