With illustrations by Caldecott Medal winner LeUyen Pham, LOVE IS POWERFUL teaches kids that their voice matters.

A few early reactions from readers:

“Ok, y’all. This book. It made me cry. My little one started yelling ‘LOVE IS POWERFUL’ in our living room and then we read all about the real Mari in a message from her at the back of the book. This one is inspiring and speaks directly to the power of kids.” —Kelly, Inclusive Story Time, @inclusivestorytime

“Kind, sweet, and empowering, this book is proof that today's children bring tomorrow's future—and it's going to be powerfully beautiful.” —Andrew, GoodReads

Inspired by a girl participating in the January 2017 Women’s March in New York City, LOVE IS POWERFUL shows what our youth can do to promote change and equality in a time where our country is divided by politics, race, gender, and religion.
