Andy Johnson And The March For Justice
$13.99Add to cartFrom the bestselling author of Reading While Black comes a sweet and inspiring picture book that weaves together history and faith to help families talk about how everyone–including children–can be a voice for justice.
Andy Johnson loves fighting battles. Especially when he has his favorite sword, the Destroyer, by his side. So when Dad announces that the Johnson family is heading to the city to join a march, Andy’s ready to don his battle gear and be the best soldier!
Except this isn’t a march to war . . . it’s a march for justice.

Building on the first Johnson family book, Josey Johnson’s Hair and the Holy Spirit, and inspired by a conversation with his own children after taking them to a protest march, Esau McCaulley provides an accessible resource for parents and educators looking to engage kids on the topics of racism, discrimination, and social justice through a biblical and historical perspective.

Full of wisdom and affirmations, this thoughtful picture book shows the beauty in everyday living, making it a standout in gratitude books for kids.
Each Day Is a Gift gently reveals how gifts’ purposes are not always clear immediately, and while we can’t choose what gifts we receive, we can choose how to use them.

Together, they encourage us to embrace each day with mindfulness.

when the sun peeks over the horizon
with a yawn, and a stretch, and a sigh,
another day is delivered to you
like a gift waiting to be unwrapped
and used
and loved. -
