"Woke" is a wonderful collection of poetry about the world around us - body positivity, racial injustice, standing up for what's right...it's a great way to introduce kids and young teens to the concept of being woke. I loved that the pages had a subject at the bottom so that parents could focus specifically on race or prejudice if they felt there was a particular subject they wanted to focus on with their kids.
