Little Rebels
Description
Little Rebels by Yuyi Morales is a warm, gently radical picture book about curiosity, care, and community. Three young friends find each other and learn how small acts—watching closely, asking questions, helping a hurt animal, tending a changing river—can grow into big change. A luminous new work from the Caldecott Honoree behind Dreamers and Bright Star.
