Tessa Allen is an illustrator, teaching artist, and co-founder of Brooklyn's Rat King Theatre. Originally from Paradise, California, she now lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"Debut author-illustrator Allen illuminates the motivations for
protest marches. Contemporary issues are highlighted (systemic
racism and police brutality, climate change, Black Lives Matter,
the March for Our Lives) as well as historical protests (the
women's suffrage movement, the Delano grape boycott). Allen shows
that advocacy does not have an age limit." -- School Library
Journal (starred review)"Allen presents an accessible introduction
to political protest: 'Marching is something people do together
when they want to resist injustice.' Spare prose informs on the
necessity of rallying and communal allyship, with graceful
allusions to significant historical events from 1776 to the
present." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A warm, inviting
introduction to protests and demonstrations, nicely pitched to the
youngest of readers and ideal for starting conversations about
current events."
-- Booklist (starred review)
