Rise Up and Write It: With Real Mail, Posters, and More!

this book is phenomenal! It's a lovely story with great illustrations, which literally serve as a blueprint for kids to become civically active. I also love the diversity both and children and in the adults. I waited my whole life to see a Mayor Khan and to see that reflected in children's literature is doubly satisfying. This book is going to become my gift of choice for all the kids I know.

As a mom of three who strives to raise activists, this marvelous book has become a household favorite! Perfect for preschoolers and elementary school age children because of the interactive pockets and pulls outs of mail, posters, letters! But also beneficial to teens and adults because picture books like these inspire all ages.Recommended this book to my son’s 3rd grade teacher and it was used as an environmental theme tool in their persuasive writing project.

When kids want to get involved and make a difference in their community, they might need some help getting started. Books can help! Rise Up and Write It just might encourage and inspire the next young activist. I love that this book includes little envelopes filled with surprises between the pages. ⁣

Inspiring stories for kids changing the world.

Used this book in my kindergarten classroom for teaching persuasive writing!

Bought a second copy for the classroom

This book is so creatively written and beautifully illustrated. My kids love taking out the letters and it inspires imagination/play along with the reading. I gift this to all my friends with kids now!

WOW, what a brilliant book! Not only is this book so inspiring for readers old and young, it is impeccably designed from start to finish. The interactive elements in this book are so much fun and I can imagine how excited readers will be to open up each letter to find different things inside from posters to stickers and mail!Conveying community activism in a picture book is no small feat, but Nandini Ahuja's text coupled with Anoosha Syed's beautiful illustrations, makes reading through this book a breeze. A whole afternoon of activities can be spent working through this book and discussing the steps Farah took to fight for her neighborhood. This book wonderfully distills down the process of organizing and making a change and lets readers know that anyone can do it, no matter how young.Each page is wonderfully illustrated, with Anoosha Syed proving once again that she can illustrate anything! Different illustrations and colors sets apart from envelope from the next, guaranteeing that kids will be excited to see what the next one holds. There are even interactive elements in the book, letting readers write on the letters themselves which is sure to be a hit.What a brilliant book with so much thought and care put into it, I would highly recommend to all readers old and young.
