Kids Storytime w/ Rachel C Katz

Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for a special storytime with Rachel C Katz! Rachel will be reading from her book Rise Up!: Powerful Protests in American History, a picture book designed to inspire young activists.

About the author:

Rachel C. Katz taught middle school humanities for many years and introduced hundreds of students to her passions: writing, literature, American history, and civics. Now, she writes the books she always dreamed of sharing with her students.

Rachel writes nonfiction, from picture books to YA, about the histories left out of textbooks. She is drawn to stories of imperfect people who tried their best to make a complex world better. Rachel also writes fiction: silly stories, graphic novels, and mysteries.

About the book:

Throughout our long history, when something's unfair

When rights need expanding, or wrongs need repair

Americans argue. We march and we cheer.

We write songs and speeches. We go volunteer.

From the Boston Tea Party to the Capitol Crawl, inspire young activists in this bold nonfiction picture book that explores 25 moments of protest, resistance and revolution throughout American history. In a powerful celebration of the United States' 250th birthday, teach kids how we campaign and vote. We challenge tradition. Protest is American by definition!
