Moving, relatable, and totally true childhood biographies of Martin Luther King Jr., Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, Malala Yousafzai, and 12 other inspiring activists.

Every activist started out as a kid—and in some cases they were kids when their activism began! But even the world’s greatest champions of civil liberties had relatable interests and problems—often in the middle of extraordinary circumstances.

• Martin Luther King, Jr. loved fashion, and argued with his dad about whether or not dancing was a sin.
• Harvey Milk had a passion for listening to opera music in different languages.
• Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.
