Woke: A Young Poet's Call to Justice written by Mahogany L. Browne and illustrated by Theodore Taylor III
Woke is a new children's book that I think will be a winner somewhere this year. It's absolutely beautiful and speaks to our times, not to mention the art. Love it!
Three contributors (including our girl, Elizabeth Acevedo), celebrate the joy and passion in the fight for social justice.
Includes themes like activism, community, empathy, freedom fighters, gender, immigration, protest, stereotyping, volunteering, and WOKE!
"We all are part of someone else's journey
That's the way communities are built
Each root sprawling toward the edge of an infinite smile."
