Authors write about their own experiences while also reflecting on current-day figures they look up to. Names like Angela Davis, Greta Thunberg, and Colin Kaepernick fill the pages as these kids respond to Civil Rights, peace, and climate change. Hear histories of these authors as they share stories of motherly cooking, barking dogs, berries, birthdays, and riding the Metro.

From the publisher: “Penned by fourth grade authors from Bridges PCS during the COVID-19 lockdown, this beautiful and bittersweet collection is a love letter to community. Their personal narratives and poems, all painted with sharp sensory details, highlight the people and places within the students' own communities. They also speak directly to the activists working hard to make all of our communities more just, healthy, and safe for all to shine.”
