Julia Alvarez on A is for Activist

“Finally! A sassy and heartwarming board book to teach our children the alphabet of humane values. knows that activism begins in the cradle, but to be sustainable, it has to be wide-ranging, deep-rooted, and based ultimately on a sense of fun and community. covers all this ground with a playful rhyming style that makes you want to turn the pages and read the book over and over again.The illustrations are so colorful, beautifully executed, little works of art in and of themselves. What a great book for children of all ages. The Spanish adaptation by captures the essence of the English original and makes it sing y cantar con todo el amor y cariño de nuestra cultura y lengua.”
