Hands Up! by Breanna J. McDanielMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A positive portrayal of being told to put your "hands up!"--singing in church, getting dressed, fixing hair, 5th position in ballet ("graceful like Ms. Misty"), playing defense in basketball, and high fives. Last page shows everyone with hands up at a rally holding signs that say, "Black Lives Matter," "Water=Life," and "Ningun ser humano es ilegal." Not many words on each page--short and simple. Would be great for reading to a group of children as they could put their hands up for each action. Digital mixed media for the illustrations--looks like boxy, crayon-ish drawings that are bold and simple.
This is perfect for social justice displays for the little ones.
