From the supplier: Some children's literature inspire social action as a response to social injustice. Works of authors such as Eve Bunting, 'Smoky Nights,' 'The Wall' and 'Cheyenne Again, have been instrumental in realizing that children can respond to critical social issues. As a result, educators are beginning to integrate activism in their classroom literacy programs. Ten guidelines for activism and literacy classroom projects and some literature on social problems are presented.
