We're going to a peaceful protest because … Momma's going to march!

Momma's Going to March follows several children over time as they accompany their mothers to different peaceful protest marches, where they advocate for the environment, freedom, equality, peace and clean water. They help make signs and banners, decorate wagons, carry flags and beat drums. Momma shows them that advocacy can be fun … and that they can do it, too!

With accessible text and engaging artwork, Momma's Going to March will empower a generation of young activists. Includes an author's note, brief descriptions of a select number of historical marches, and further information on the use of signs, flags, banners, drums and more in peaceful protests.

Momma's Going to March is for ages 3-6
