With protests sweeping the nation and the world, young readers will be inspired by these accounts of activists who refused to be ignored.

This book is right on time.--Nikki Grimes, Children's Literature Legacy Medal Winner

From music to marches, from sit-ins to walk-outs, activists throughout history have defended the disenfranchised and demanded change, refusing to back down even in the face of violent suppression and overwhelming opposition. Today, a new generation of activists has arisen, speaking up in unprecedented numbers against systemic oppression, bias, and injustice.

Now available in paperback, Resist! is a collection of twenty-one brief but comprehensive essays accompanied by striking artwork and rich supplementary material by Diane Stanley. Resist! reminds us of those who fought for the world we have today, and gives us strength for the fights that lay ahead.

Featured figures include: Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Woody Guthrie, Mohandas Gandhi, Irena Sendler, The Hollywood Ten, Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, The Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-in protestors, Martin Luther King, Jr., Larry Itliong, Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Richard Oakes, The Tree-Sitters of Pureora, Father Luis Olivares, Tank Man, Nelson Mandela, Ryan White, Ai Weiwei, the It Gets Better Project, The March For Our Lives protestors, and Greta Thunberg.

Diane Stanley, award-winning author and illustrator of many distinctive informational books for young people, writes with passion and conviction of the world's greatest activists, past and present, in this book which is as hopeful as it is inspiring.
