Marian Wright Edelman is a flea for justice. Just like her hero, Sojourner Truth, Marian pushes for change even when it's uncomfortable. She makes people itch, just like a flea.
A historical and political picture book biography for 6-9-year-olds about Black perseverance. An aspiring read for future activists and changemakers!
As Marian Wright Edelman grows up, she never loses the spirit she had as a child when she swapped the signs on water fountains designating where Black and white people were allowed to drink.
Marian learns about Sojourner Truth, and she decides to make people itch in order to make change, just like Sojourner did. Marian becomes the first Black woman lawyer in Mississippi, and she creates the Children’s Defense Fund, which continues to be a voice for poor children, children of color, and children with disabilities today.
A Flea for Justice is an accessible read with a unique, kid-friendly structure; award-winning educator Valerie Bolling directly asks the kid readers questions, like--“Do you know what Sojourner told that man?” to engage in the story. An inspiring, call-to-action biography that’s sure to make readers itch!
“Marian has spent six decades bending the moral arc of the universe toward justice, and we are all the beneficiaries of her noble mission.”
—Hilary Rodham Clinton
