As a new wave of protests sweeps 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 reform, refusing to back down even in the face of violent oppression and overwhelming opposition. Today, a new generation of activists has arisen, speaking up in unprecedented numbers against systemic oppression, bias, and injustice.

Resist , a collection of 21 brief but comprehensive essays accompanied by striking artwork and rich supplementary material by Diane Stanley, reminds us of the activists who came before: the men and women who have used peaceful resistance and non-violent protests to make their voices heard.

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, Doloras 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.

Perfect for my son!
Color: Purple, Size: 7 Years, Color: Purple, Size: 7 Years
Loved that the pants were adjustable and it fit my son perfectly and was shipped fast for Halloween! This was cheaper than a Halloween costume but the quality was 10x better than any bulk Halloween costume store ! We did a DIY joker & I absolutely loved how it turned out ! Definitely could use this for a formal event !

Great 4 piece for a wedding!
Color: Black, Size: 12 Years
My so. Is 10 years old but super skinny and super tall. The pants had an adjustable waist which was perfect for me to adjust to his skinny waist. The length was perfect. The material was great and it was well made. The tie was super easy to put on and the vest has an adjustable band on the back. This was perfect for a wedding he was attending. He looked so handsome! Great price too.
