Buy this book for your children. Buy this book for yourself. Buy this book for your granny and your neighbour and your personal trainer and whoever else you can think of, give it to them.

The incredibly intelligent and brave people mentioned in this book are so inspiring. They are all younger than me so reading this really made me realise that no matter who you are, you have something to offer. If you see injustice, stand up for what is right.

As far as the actual book goes; the content is informative, there are plenty of resources provided, the illustrations are exquisite. I love reading this.

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for ARC in exchange for an honest opinion. Also thank you Kate Alexander for writing a book like this, the world needs it.

The arc of the book is so colourful and illuminating. The readers not only get to witness what the activists did on their own. But the story of their allies are also given. We also see the reaction of the government in the current scenario and before the 2015 elections. A reality check of why the young who are as young as 11 standing up for issues because their voices need to be heard. I was glad of the diversity in the activists but the search was limited to United States except Greta from Netherlands. I wish there were activists from the Asian community and from Asia. The illustrations are successful in portraying the ethnicity and the gender/ community they wanted to represent in their representation in the graphic book.

A book with important implications for life and society. I would gladly add this book to my classroom library — a must-have for engaging children in powerful conversations.

What an inspiring book! Reading about these Gen Z activists gave me so much hope for the future of our nation and our world. The young people highlighted are doing such important work, advocating for issues from gun reform to environmental justice. Each person/organization feature includes resources that give more information about each movement, where to follow along on social media, and how to get involved. The book also includes really beautiful illustrations on every page. This is a great resource for children and adults alike!

Get to know some members of a generation that is seeking change and who will inspire many.  Those profiled here are trying to fix so much. They want no more massive shootings, a climate that can sustain us, LGBQT rights, to take care of people and so much more.  Spend some time reading these inspiring profiles and think about what you can do to improve our lives and world.  This is an important book as it reminds us to look further than our own self interest. It is filled with biographies, quotes, wonderful graphics and more.  Share it with a young person that you know.


Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this  beautifully illustrated title in exchange for an honest review.

What an inspirational book about the diverse activist heroes and leaders of Gen Z! This collection of biographies of youth activists would make an excellent addition to your home and school libraries! With vibrant illustrations and an approachable style, it will be a book you want to read!

Advanced readers' copy provided courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Available in September!

Generation Brave is AHHHmazing! The illustrations and the layout were perfectly organized and lovingly vibrant. Great information and connection with hashtags. Generation Brave discusses people and causes that young activists and informed citizens need to know! I especially loved how the chapters were organized and Stopping the clock on climate change chapter was my favorite. This is a must-have and I can't wait to buy another copy and add to my little free library!

Generation Brave is an excellent book on youth activists of today, appropriate for 5th to 9th grade. In today’s world, we are encouraging kids to become active in their communities. The youths in this book are excellent examples of Gen Z activists who’ve made a difference and are empowering other kids to do the same.

There are five chapters in this book: Challenging the System (including topics like LGBTQ+ advocacy, immigration into the United States, and Black Lives Matter), Creating a Safer World (dedicated to gun reform laws and the Parkland and Newtown shootings, the protection of clean water), Stopping the Clock On Climate Change (yes, one of the sections is about Greta Thunberg, but there are several others, too!), Lifting Each Other Up (education, mental health, and equality), and Taking Care of Each Other (about equality and mental health, and what we can do to help all humans).
Kate Alexander’s call for Gen Z activism is informative, inspiring, and makes activism for kids feel possible. She opens the door for kids to learn about a variety of causes and their backgrounds. It is very fact heavy, so the addition of Jade Orlando’s accompanying illustrations make this book seem more approachable for tweens.

What a powerful book! The beautiful illustrations bring to life the incredibly important content. The books takes the reader through dozens of young activists and explores highlights of what they have done and then digs deeper into their actions. There were many people in here I had never heard from and I learned a lot from it. This book will inspire people to continue or begin activist work; a must have for classrooms and home libraries!

An amazing book about 20+ teens who have made the world a better place. Each teen's story has extra facts about them, which enhances the reading enjoyment. Also, a way to connect with them through social media is included. Artwork in vivid color make this inviting for readers.
