librarybonanza 's review for:

Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights by Jared Schorr, Rob Sanders
3.0

Age: ???

Great collage artwork and an excellent premise but it is unfortunately paired with heavy-handed, monotonous, verb-driven writing.

For the classroom, this would be a hard one to read aloud to any children younger than 2nd grade. Because of the wealth of information discussed, it's best to pair this with a unit that is already discussing social justice and activism or with children that already have background knowledge about activism. I honestly wish the author didn't feel confined to an ABC book because the length is daunting and the message becomes overwhelmingly saturated with information.

I gave it an extra star for all the conservative blowhards out there.
