Description
A timely, powerful and much-needed picture book exploring the background to the Black Lives Matter movement for young children.

Through author-illustrator Maxine Beneba Clarke's glorious artwork and lyrical text, this book fosters activism, being anti-racist and using your voice and your power for good.
A brave, empowering and inspiring read for all children.
