"As the country commemorates Lexington and Concord and the American Revolution, author Rachel Katz and illustrator Sophie Bass's fact-filled and delightfully rendered picture book shows how 25 moments of protest, resistance, and revolution led to victories won by the same kind of grit and risk-taking of the Minutemen 250 years ago—emancipation from slavery, women's rights, safe foods, environmental protection, and minority voting rights." -Ray Anthony Shepard
"Brilliant colors and dramatic contrast burst from the pages of this age-appropriate primer on the history and power of protests in the United States." – Foreword Reviews
