Generation Brave is AHHHmazing! The illustrations and the layout were perfectly organized and lovingly vibrant. Great information and connection with hashtags. Generation Brave discusses people and causes that young activists and informed citizens need to know! I especially loved how the chapters were organized and Stopping the clock on climate change chapter was my favorite. This is a must-have and I can't wait to buy another copy and add to my little free library!

Generation Brave is an excellent book on youth activists of today, appropriate for 5th to 9th grade. In today’s world, we are encouraging kids to become active in their communities. The youths in this book are excellent examples of Gen Z activists who’ve made a difference and are empowering other kids to do the same.

There are five chapters in this book: Challenging the System (including topics like LGBTQ+ advocacy, immigration into the United States, and Black Lives Matter), Creating a Safer World (dedicated to gun reform laws and the Parkland and Newtown shootings, the protection of clean water), Stopping the Clock On Climate Change (yes, one of the sections is about Greta Thunberg, but there are several others, too!), Lifting Each Other Up (education, mental health, and equality), and Taking Care of Each Other (about equality and mental health, and what we can do to help all humans).
Kate Alexander’s call for Gen Z activism is informative, inspiring, and makes activism for kids feel possible. She opens the door for kids to learn about a variety of causes and their backgrounds. It is very fact heavy, so the addition of Jade Orlando’s accompanying illustrations make this book seem more approachable for tweens.

What a powerful book! The beautiful illustrations bring to life the incredibly important content. The books takes the reader through dozens of young activists and explores highlights of what they have done and then digs deeper into their actions. There were many people in here I had never heard from and I learned a lot from it. This book will inspire people to continue or begin activist work; a must have for classrooms and home libraries!

An amazing book about 20+ teens who have made the world a better place. Each teen's story has extra facts about them, which enhances the reading enjoyment. Also, a way to connect with them through social media is included. Artwork in vivid color make this inviting for readers.
