J is For Justice
J is for Justice is an empowering introduction to social justice activism for kids written by Nekima Levy Armstrong and illustrated by Tiffany Baker.
Inspired by Nekima Levy Armstrong's countless experiences at protests with her young child, this social justice children’s book is an empowering introduction to activism for kids—teaching young readers the power of protest, community, and many voices coming together as one.
Baby Joy is on a walk with her mom when she hears voices and drumming. As the crowd comes closer, Baby Joy recognizes people from her neighborhood. She hears them shouting different words, like “freedom” and “justice.”
Her mom explains there’s a protest going on—and Baby Joy wants to join! In this social justice book for kids, experience a protest through the eyes of a child: the questions they ask, the signs they see, and the chants they sing.
