Using simple explanations and appealing illustrations in a familiar A-to-Z format, The Young Activist's Dictionary of Social Justice will teach kids the new vocabulary of change.

A Long-Overdue Resource for Challenging Times: As social justice movements get more visibility, and calls for activism, engagement, and change increase, a new vocabulary of equality is emerging. While recent racial reckonings have brought activists of all ages to the table, young activists have played a significant role regarding issues like racial justice, climate change, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and income inequality. This book is a perfect introduction for young readers looking for information on these subjects. And it's ideal for parents who want to start a conversation with their kids but might need a little help with the terminology.

It's More than Just a Dictionary: Alongside the basic word entries grouped by letter, the book features additional informative and inspiring content to bring the technical, and sometimes heavy, terms to life. Extra material will include bite-sized bios of justice advocates who got involved with a cause at a young age; sidebars offering historical details or helpful graphics, or comparing closely related terms; as well as a resource section in the back of the book with guidance for kids who want to take their activism to the next level.
