I thought that this was a fun and informative book.

It was well laid out and I love the images that they use to start the chapters as an introduction. A great little book that shows what an impact children and young people can have.

It is 4 stars from me for this one, lots of facts and great introductions to some of the child activists past and present – highly recommended!

This book is a beautiful introduction into the lives of heroes of social change. I would recommend it for any elementary school children. The stories are not incredibly long and detailed but will keep the attention of any child and have them begin to dream about ways they may be able to make the world a better place.

I would add this to any classroom or library and buy this for my child as well!

Another great addition to a series that has already covered Kid Presidents, Kid Athletes, and Kid Artists. Stevenson highlights the lives of sixteen activists, some better known than others, as well as offering brief nods to twelve others.

I read this book to my 1st through 3rd grade class. They loved this book, especially the chapters about children who were children when they were activists. I would highly recommend this book.

Love all these kids books. They are informative but fun to read. I love how it shows how these influential people are normal people.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
This is an excellent resource for young readers eager to learn about the world and the people who got them their rights.

I enjoyed this book immensely, the drawings and child-friendly language used mean that this is a perfect way to teach children about important figures in history.

The diversity both in ethnicity and issues faced by the kid activists encourages wider reading and for young people to expand their perspectives. It pays homage to some of the most important people of history and even of the present day. Topics like the Flint Water Crisis and Child Slavery and discussed in-depth alongside the fight for Civil Rights and Education.

Overall, this is an inspiring book and an amazing academic resource for a person of any age and I would highly recommend it.

I received an advance review copy for free via NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily 📚

I really loved the book, Kid Activists. The design and structure of the book is very kid-friendly. The short excerpts are perfect for my students. I loved how the book focussed on the impact that a child can have. It is a great text to put in front of my students in order to inspire and teach them. The selection of activists was diverse and well-down. I thought it had a good mix of names my students would know, as well as lots they wouldn't/

This series of famous (and not as well known) people as kids is a go to recommendation of mine. I hope they keep coming.

A great read for kids looking to learn more about what activism is and how it creates change. The artwork matches perfectly. I could see this being fairly popular in my branch, both with kids and their caregivers. Works well as a stepping off point for more resources and education on different kinds of activism.

3.5 Stars
A decent addition to the series and an excellent subject matter, although not quite as diverse as some of the previous books. It is organized well and I did enjoy most of the mini biographies included, especially those of Emma Watson, Harvey Milk, and Malala Yousafzai. A good place for children to start and then research further.

Net Galley Feedback

I have read many an anthology about people that kids should know, but this one is really a little special. It focuses on the childhood's of these people and shows how their young years shaped what they did as they grew older. I love all of the pictures that are scattered throughout the book as I found they really helped me connect to the stories.
I liked the collection of people that they found as well as it was a good mix of people that I knew well, those I have just heard their name, and I few I knew nothing about. I learned a lot from their stories and I feel like kids will as well as it is written in a very accessible way.

This is a powerful book that looks at children of influence not just through history, but contemporary figures too.
While there is a focus on certain aspects of activism, the book does give details for each person individually.

I would recommend this book for an individual lesson but more so a goal-oriented class project. Personally, I think this would make a great graduation portfolio for students going into Intermediate and High School.

Good book for the kid activist in your life! -or a collection of biographies! I enjoyed reading about some new people in this book: Emma Watson (Harry Potter's Hermione actress) and the late Iqbal Masih (child slave). Very empowering tales for all ages. There are many others in this book, many of whom I've read about over the years (and recommended for reading! ). The anger and despair that grows such bravery and drives one to fight back is so admirable. It's amazing what one person can accomplish!
Well researched and written. Chapters aren't too long, but contain lots of info. I enjoyed the periodic illustrations, too.

I love this book! It is a perfect reminder that as we read about all these amazing people in our world, we can speak up as children too. Letting children know that they are just as full of power as the adults they are surrounded by and came make just as big as a difference will be excellent. I appreciated the inclusion of many different races and nationalities.
My one critique of the book is the illustrations. In a book this powerful I felt the illustrations could have been stronger.
