What is so powerful about this book is first it's simplicity in imagery and language and also the empowering implication which undergirds it: anyone can help change the world in any way that they can. The book simply lists many types of activism and encourages readers to take action from protests to strikes, staying quiet or screaming out loud, readers see a multitude of ways that change has and can be affected. Written almost as a how-to guide for today's budding activists, Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights is a rallying call-to-action for readers to speak up and speak out, in any way that they can. Using scarce yet rhythmic clear language coupled with bold imagery, the elementary ELA teacher/author makes clear that there is no one right way to make a difference, but it is necessary to make one now. The simple and powerful message of Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights is clear from the beginning - every voice matters, no matter how small, and every voice sings a unique and purposeful song.
