Little ones who love to say “No!” can chime in while they learn about iconic activists from Frederick Douglass and Alice Paul to Martin Luther King Jr. and Malala. [1]   

Summary

Each spread introduces an iconic figure – from Malala Yousafzai to Martin Luther King Jr. – along with a super simple summary of the action they took to change the course of history. Detailed, colourful art will thoroughly engage toddlers and pre-schoolers, and the chance to join the refrain on every spread of ‘NO! No, she didn’t go!’ is sure to please the tiniest protesters. [2]

Pros

One reviewer mention that this book does an amazing job at including historical figures in history while using age appropriate language. Important moments in history such as Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat on a bus, Judith Heumann speaking out for disability rights in education, and many more are provided in this book. This book also provides an example for what it means to speak up against something that is unjust or unfair, and it gives ways that children can do this by saying no and using their voice. [3]
