Review: You Are Revolutionary by Cindy Wang Brandt

Parenting Author, Advocate and podcast host, Cindy Wang Brandt has written her first children's book, You Are Revolutionary. In this inspiring picture book she speaks to every child who sees injustice in the world, revealing they have everything they need inside themselves to make big, transformative change in the world, just as they are. Every kid is a revolutionary! You don't need to wait until you grow up. You don't even need any special skills. Kids who are loud, kids who are quiet, kids who make art, kids who are good at math, kids with lots of energy, kids who are good listeners--all kids have what it takes to make a difference. Lynnor Bontigao's vibrant illustrations feature a diverse group of children taking up a call to action and using their individual gifts to change the world.

Review

You Are Revolutionary is one of those books that I loved from the start. From that empowering young girl of the cover representing what “you” can be, this is a definite read that is relevant today. What I thought was creative and inspiring were the affirming words inside the cover pages that have meaning and call to action. This was a beautiful story that showed the importance and potential of a young voice and how despite opposition and obstacles, you can be the change you want. No matter how small the task is or where you come from, your voice and actions can make a difference. It's so important to not only show but instill that giving back and helping others is an important part of living in this world together.

Overall, the book had an empowering message that will inspire young kids to hopefully want to be proactive with making the world better. The beautiful illustrations were diverse and everyone will be able to relate with someone in the book. The suggested age range of the book is 4 -7. It has 32 pages.
