Authors and artists from Sharon Draper and Jason Reynolds to Ekua Holmes and Rafael López build a remarkable community within these pages, sharing in their own words and images how We Rise, We Resist, We Raise Our Voices (Crown, $18.99) in the face of adversity to create a more just tomorrow. Ages 9-12.
