Speak Up!

Nathan Bryon

Waterstones says:

Rocket returns in the third effervescent picture book from the Waterstones Children's Book Prize-winning team of Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola, in which our irrepressible heroine organises a peaceful protest against the closure of her local library.

Join the brilliantly passionate and instantly loveable Rocket as she organises a peaceful protest to save her local library!

Bookworm Rocket loves to collect new books on her weekly visit to the library, and to read all about inspirational figures like Rosa Parks. She is heartbroken when she discovers the library will be closing down! Can she use what she's learnt from Rosa and speak up to save the day?

This empowering, heartwarming picture book is a love letter to libraries and the power of reading. And it shows the incredible power we ALL have when we find our voice and speak up about the things that matter.
