The Wedding Portrait by Innosanto Nagara
An essential book for kids about standing up for what's right. Here are stories of direct action from around the world that are bookended by the author's wedding story, when he was arrested for protesting. When indigenous people in Colombia block an oil company from destroying their environment - this is a blockade; when Florida farmworkers encourage people not to buy their tomatoes because the farm owners won't pay them for their hard work - this is called a boycott. In brilliantly bright and inspiring illustrations we see ordinary people say No - to unfair treatment.INNOSANTO NAGARA's new-wave board books inspire kids to be confident in themselves as they grow up, and to be active citizens who care about problems ranging from the environment to LGBTQ rights and civil rights. Nagara was born and reared in Indonesia before relocating to the United States in 1988. He went to the San Francisco Bay Area after studying zoology and philosophy at UC Davis and working as a graphic designer for a variety of social change organizations before forming the Design Action Collective, a worker-owned cooperative design firm in Oakland, California.
