No Voice Too Small: Fourteen Young Americans Making History

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeanette Bradley. Fourteen poets (both well-known and less so) use a variety of forms (e.g., tanka, free verse, spoken word) to reflect on the work and influence of young change makers. Each of the activists is celebrated by "a poet who relates to an aspect of the activist's identity." The young subjects' causes include bullying prevention, clean water, healthcare for Native people, and Down syndrome advocacy. An engaging portrait, a paragraph of more information, and a tip for young activists-to-be accompany each profile. More about the ten poetic forms and the poets is appended.
