Make Good Trouble

Jamia Wilson writes for young readers who have noticed something unfair and want to know what can be done about it. The title borrows a phrase John Lewis used when urging people to make good trouble, and the book brings together real accounts of activism with guidance on identity, voice, resilience and organised action, illustrated in bold colour by Devon Blow and Ashley Lukashevsky. The tone stays direct rather than preachy, treating readers aged nine and up as capable of understanding both the effort involved and the reasons people keep going.
