Social justice children's picture book for activist kids: Gift & resist!

Every watercolor page of When We March describes what it feels like—from your head, to your heart, to your toes—to show up, speak up, and recognize that democracy only works when every one of us counts. This illustrated children's book makes a great gift for the young social justice advocates-to-be in your life!

Plus: Your purchase supports the values this book champions & promotes youth civic participation and education. This month, we're donating 20% of sales to the Children's Defense Fund, which advocates for all children in America who cannot vote, lobby or speak up for themselves.

The issues that seem complicated to us as adults have a certain clarity in children's eyes: love, kindness, fairness, care for our planet. When We March presents a joyous example of how we all, even the smallest, can use our voices to celebrate and promote the best in us.
