M is for Movement

“Another powerful, empowering (dangerous, in a good way) book for readers of all ages by the incredible Innosanto Nagara, artist, writer, activist—a true superhero with superpowers of compassion, sensitivity, oodles of talent, and heaps of love. Who can resist Inno? . . . Best of all is the message Nagara delivers about the true superhero in the book, we, the people—we are a power to be reckoned with when we find each other and stand united. Read this book.  Join the movement. See you on the streets!” —Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies and A Wedding in Haiti “Innosanto Nagara has done it again—and how lucky we all are for that! M is for Movement is another bold, bright, powerful book that uses a relatable personal narrative to relay a complex political history—and a necessary lesson in how ordinary people can create extraordinary change. It’s a riveting, empowering, and visually stunning adventure.” —Kate Schatz, New York Times–bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z, Rad Women Worldwide, and Rad Girls Can “This imaginative and highly appealing children’s story, enlivened with brilliant artwork, focuses mainly on the shattering yet inspiring history of modern Indonesia, but has much broader resonance and outreach. Its lucid and powerful message is that ordinary people, with courage and dedication, can help create popular movements that change the world, even under the most onerous conditions. Lessons that could not be more pertinent for all of us today.” —Noam Chomsky
