\"\"<\/a>
Thoughts and Prayers Don’t Save Lives, student lie-in at the White House to protest gun laws. Author: Lorie Shaull<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The clarity, courage, and commitment of the young people fighting to end school violence and ban assault weapons provides an opportunity to support kids who wish to change the world.<\/p>\n

Here are two books I heartily recommend for teenagers.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life<\/a>\u00a0by Michael Moore.<\/p>\n

Set your politics aside. It doesn’t matter whether you love or hate Michael Moore, his autobiography is deeply moving and wildly entertaining. Here Comes Trouble<\/a> features hilarious and inspirational tales of how one young person’s sense of outrage can change the world. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I have given lots of copies as gifts to young people.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

The Children<\/a> by David Halberstam<\/p>\n

David Halberstam’s vivid history of the Civil Rights movement told through the stories of young people who courageously fought for voting and human rights is a must-read. Today’s young politically conscious young people would be well-served by a reminder that they stand on the shoulders of giants. The Children<\/a> is one of the all-time great American history books.<\/p>\n

For Tweens<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

We Were There, Too!: Young People in U.S. History<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>by Phillip Hoose<\/p>\n

A large lovely book to inspire tweens by the stories of kids and their role in American history.<\/p>\n

Protest Songs for Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Bigger Than Yourself<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

John McCutcheon’s delightful record of protest songs for kids will be the hit of car trips and classroom sing-alongs. Every classroom and minivan needs a copy of Bigger Than Yourself!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
