Love Is Powerful

Mari raised her sign for everyone to see. Even though she was small and the crowd was very big, and she didnâ€t think anyone would hear, she yelled out. Mari is getting ready to make a sign with crayon as the streets below her fill up with people. “What are we making, Mama. â€. she asks. “A message for the world,â€. Mama says. “How will the whole world hear. â€. Mari wonders. “Theyâ€ll hear,â€. says Mama, “because love is powerful. â€. Inspired by a girl who participated in the January 2017 Womenâ€s March in New York City, Heather Dean Brewerâ€s simple and uplifting story, delightfully illustrated by LeUyen Pham, is a reminder of what young people can do to promote change and equality at a time when our country is divided by politics, race, gender and religion.
