Rise Up and Write It

Om boken

Rise Up and Write It combines a celebration of
civic engagement with the hands-on fun of real pull-out examples of activism
tools and is sure to encourage young readers to want to get up and get
involved.

The book comes complete with a pull-out letter to the mayor, a ready-to-sign petition, a community meeting poster, a protest sign—and more!

When Farah Patel realizes that the butterflies have
disappeared from her neighborhood, she discovers that it’s likely because there
aren’t enough flowers to attract them. She can’t help but think, “This isn’t
right.”

Luckily enough, Grove Hills is looking for ideas on what to
do with the empty lot next door. And Farah has the perfect one—make it into a
community garden to bring back a little green to their block! But when Farah finds out that she isn’t the only one with a plan for the future of Grove Hills,
she’ll have to turn to her community for help.

Open the six
envelopes inside to follow along with the story Farah as she rises
up and brings her neighborhood together.
