About the book
An essential book for kids about standing up for what's right. Here are stories of direct action from around the world that are bookended by the author's wedding story, when he was arrested for protesting. When indigenous people in Colombia block an oil company from destroying their environment - this is a blockade; when Florida farmworkers encourage people not to buy their tomatoes because the farm owners won't pay them for their hard work - this is called a boycott. In brilliantly bright and inspiring illustrations we see ordinary people say No - to unfair treatment.
