About this item
"If you're going to a march, you're going to want a sign" - and this inspiring handbook, which introduces children to the world of action and activism. As more and more children attend the growing number of marches across the country, this cheerful guide serves as a great reference tool and conversation starter for youthful participants. Inspired by author Martha Freeman's own experiences, this picture book addresses many of the questions kids might have: What should I wear? How will I get there? Where will I be able to go to the bathroom? Is it okay to dance? (Yes, it is!) . All the while the text stays focused on the fact that the right to assemble is a Constitutional part of our life as Americans . . . whatever our political point of view.
About the Author
Martha Freeman was born in Southern California shortly after the Big Bang. As the universe cooled and the Earth formed, Martha grew up and fought injustice, mostly with her pen but sometimes with her feet. Martha has worked as a newspaper reporter, copy editor, substitute teacher, college lecturer, advertising copywriter, and freelance magazine writer. In 1995, she published her first book for children, STINK BOMB MOM (not an autobiography) . Subsequently, she has published 30 more books, most recently ZAP! a techno-thriller about a power blackout, and IF YOU'RE GOING TO A MARCH, the perfect how-and-why picturebook for kids on their way to a protest. Besides writing, Martha enjoys running, parallel parking, making pies, hiking and talking on the phone to her far-flung children.
