Summary:
Captures dozens of today's leading young voices speaking out about gun control, climate change, bullying, immigration, racism, activism, LGBTQ rights, and the right to be their authentic selves. This book also includes "stand up, speak out" guidance and inspiration from many sage and well-known voices, like Michelle and Barack Obama, Princes Harry and William, Emma Watson, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Colbert, and many others. "This book helps kids and young adults speak their truth with greater power, confidence, and impact, whether they want to advocate for themselves, others, or a larger cause," Skog says.
