Hear My Voice / Escucha Mi Voz: The Testimonies of Children Detained at the Southern Border of the United States, Compiled by Warren Binford for Project Amplify
This book was gut-wrenching. It is a compilation of words from actual court records and features the voices of children at the border. If you flip the book over, you can read the English/Spanish versions. The middle of the book is packed with important information for readers to discuss and consider the ways they might act for justice.
We Are Still Here!: Native American Truths Everyone Should Know by Traci Sorell, Illustrated by Frané Lessac
I read this book with all three of my children, and each of them found the book to be accessible in different ways. There is so much information in this well-research text that kids from all ages will appreciate. Traci Sorell is simply brilliant.

I am currently reading Like a Love Story by Abdi Nazemian. I am not very far into the book, but it’s really good so far.

Ricki, all of the books you’ve been reading sound excellent! Hear My Voice sounds excruciating but incredibly important, so I appreciate you recommending it. I also took a look at your review of Love is a Revolution, and it sounds like a really unique story! Thank you both for the great post and round-up!
I see that Hear My Voice wasn’t on my list, so I’m making sure to add it now. Sounds really important – hoping it’s something I could share with my kiddos! And I’ll look forward to Sofia’s Kids’ Corner, as well. Thank you both for hosting #imwayr!
