Do you know a little rebel? Do you want to be a rebel, too? A powerful new picture book from Caldecott Honoree Yuyi Morales, creator of Dreamers and Bright Star.
Little rebels have a way of finding each other. When these three youngsters come together while playing outside, they feel the pull—these are their people.
Little rebels ask questions. They use language to shape the world, and when no words are right, they make up new ones. They imagine, trust their intuition, and aren’t ashamed to change their minds.
Playing together in good times leads to working together through trouble. When the river dries up and a bird friend is trapped in the riverbed, the little rebels call on ancestors to show them what to do. Nobody gets left behind.
Caldecott Honoree and six-time Pura Belpré Medalist Yuyi Morales, creator of Dreamers, Viva Frida, and Bright Star, draws on Mexican folklore in this much-anticipated new offering. Little Rebels is as bold and spirited as the young trailblazers it chronicles. Find it also in Spanish as Jovenes rebeldes.
Yuyi Morales was born in Xalapa, Mexico, where she currently resides. She is a Caldecott Honoree and a repeated winner of the prestigious Pura Belpré Medal for Illustration, among other honors. Her titles include Dreamers (A New York Times bestseller), Niño Wrestles the World, Viva Frida, and Bright Star. She lived for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she still maintains close connections.
