From the bestselling author of Reading While Black comes a sweet and inspiring picture book that weaves together history and faith to help families talk about how everyoneincluding childrencan be a voice for justice. Andy Johnson loves fighting battles. Especially when he has his favorite sword, the Destroyer, by his side. So when Dad announces that the Johnson family is heading to the city to join a march, Andys ready to don his battle gear and be the best soldier! Except this isnt a march to war . . . its a march for justice. Join Andy and the rest of the Johnson kids as they learn how we can answer Gods call for justice and how marching is one way people can fight for a world that reflects Gods love and compassionfrom the civil rights era up to today. Building on the first Johnson family book, Josey Johnsons Hair and the Holy Spirit, and inspired by a conversation with his own children after taking them to a protest march, Esau McCaulley provides an accessible resource for parents and educators looking to engage kids on the topics of racism, discrimination, and social justice through a biblical and historical perspective.

4 ⭐ I love the message of this book. About being a warrior and defending your rights. I love how the children get involved. The illustrations go well and help bring the points of the story come across quite well. The only downfall for me is how everything goes back to God. And I understand with who this author is, so that that makes perfect sense. I do wish there was a version of this book or a book like this that got the same points

LibrarianRyan across without it being for God. The main reason for that is it limits the audience. But the message in this book is too important to be limited. 1w
