"Warner takes us on a musical tour of how music has been used for protesting throughout recent history…. will help its young target audience relate."—Kiss the Book Jr.“A thoughtful and detailed showcase of revolutionary movements, admirable individuals, and rich music—past and present—makes for a playlist-cum-book of activism as undoubtedly educational as it is exciting to hear.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, STARRED“Illuminates the tremendous impact of activist artists and songs on individuals, communities, and social movements both past and present.”—Kirkus Reviews"This graphics-rich offering surveys protest movements and celebrates the songs and performances that publicized, empathized, and inspired both activists and members of the general public ... Thoughtful, accessible essays provide social background while introducing songwriters and performers associated with eight areas of activism ... Expect lots of interest, humming, and sing-alongs."—Booklist STARRED Review“Music is often so bound up with being a teenager. So is rebellion. Rise Up and Sing! will amplify those intimate relationships by showing young people just how powerful music has always been in creating action and change.”—Tanya Boteju, author of Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens"An incredible and vital celebration of how music can shape and transform activist movements, Rise Up and Sing! is both thought-provoking and inspiring.
