Stand Up!

Ten Mighty Women Who Made a Change

By: Brittney Cooper, Cathy Ann Johnson

Narrated by: Brittney Cooper

From New York Times bestselling author of Eloquent Rage comes a powerful, ground breaking picture book debut introducing young listeners to 10 revolutionary Black women -- both historical and contemporary -- who changed the world for the better, inspiring listeners today to know their strength, to be brave, and to STAND UP!

Stand Up! tells the story of ten historic female figures who changed the world by standing up for what's right, including legendary Civil Rights activists like Ruby Bridges and Rosa Parks and spanning to contemporary role models like Bree Newsome, who removed the confederate flag from the South Carolina state house grounds, and Mari Copeny, a youth activist who fought for clean water in Flint, Michigan.

This inspirational biographical collection will live side-by-side with best-selling classics like Little Leaders and She Persisted yet offers a wholly original, powerful new voice and approach that make this story so singular, personal, and groundbreaking. Cooper's enlightening text depicts both famous and unsung Black women who took a stand and made the world a better place for future generations.

Each heroic figure is interconnected by a united quest for equity, and offers young listeners a stirring, inspirational call to action, reminding them that they are mighty too, and can be forces for change when they stand up!
