description: Moving, relatable, and totally true childhood biographies of Martin Luther King Jr., Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, Malala Yousafzai, and 12 other inspiring activists. Every activist started out as a kid—and in some cases they were kids when their activism began! But even the world’s greatest champions of civil liberties had relatable interests and problems--often in the middle of extraordinary circumstances. Martin Luther King, Jr. loved fashion, and argued with his dad about whether or not dancing was a sin. Harvey Milk had a passion for listening to opera music in different languages. Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.  Kid Activists  tells these childhood stories and more through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page. The diverse and inclusive group encompasses  Susan B. Anthony ,  James Baldwin ,  Ruby Bridges ,  Frederick Douglass ,  Alexander Hamilton ,  Dolores Huerta ,  Helen Keller ,  Martin Luther King Jr. ,  Nelson Mandela ,  Iqbal Masih ,  Harvey Milk ,  Janet Mock ,  Rosa Parks ,  Autumn Peltier ,  Emma Watson , and  Malala Yousafzai .
