Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara breaks down the concept of justice for young readers. He uses clear, accessible language to explain what justice means and how people can work to achieve it. Bharara highlights historic justice seekers including Ida B. Wells, John Lewis, and Malala Yousafzai. He shows how these figures demonstrated key qualities by asking difficult questions, keeping open minds, defending truth, and using their voices and actions to combat injustice. The book encourages young people to fight for justice in their own communities and maintain hope that collective action can lead to positive change.
