I also enjoyed reading this book because it offered an insightful and uplifting guide to becoming an activist. “If black girls’ stories are missing, then the implication is that they don’t matter,” she writes, explaining why she started the book drive. “I didn’t like it so I had to do something.” With humor and sensitivity, Dias speaks to issues of race beyond representation in books; one section uses Disney princesses to introduce the concept of being “woke.” Acknowledging the invaluable encouragement of her parents, Dias advocates for her peers to follow their passions and instincts, even if the impact starts small. Marley noticed that there weren't many books with black girl main characters and that these books weren't been taught in school curricula. She launched a hash tag #1000blackgirlbooks that went viral. This is her guide and advice for activism for other kids. It's very much written in a young person's voice with asides with quotes and tips. Marley quotes herself a lot in the book.
An invaluable selection for any public and school library collection. Dias’ magnetic personality, outlook on life, and passion for change enliven every page, making this both a fun read and an irresistible call to action for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Juvenile Nonfiction.
Self-Improvement.

Another thing that I love about this book is the point of view. Being an autobiography, this book is written in the point of view of the author about herself and the issues that are important to her. Additionally, since this book is an autobiography, the readers will get to know her immensely throughout this book and will be able to see through her eyes and be in her shoes. For example, Marley discusses in the beginning her struggles of not seeing her being represented in the books, allowing the readers to feel empathy for her and opening their minds to other perspectives. Another example is that Marley describes her experience being in school and reading classics that involved other races, making her feel left out and unrepresented. This description also allows readers to feel empathy for Marley and understand more what it’s like to be in her shoes. The main lesson of this story is that you need to stand up and take action for the issues that matter and are important to you. ( )
