Great kids poetry book!!! Totally recommend for all kids, this will lead to some great discussion. Depending on child's age I'd do 1-2 poems a day with a lesson/a discussion after each!

"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.

The book was good. It touched many justices being fought by marginalized communities. The poetry just wasn’t for me.

The book is organized alphabetically by different terms regarding activism and civil rights, each word offering a new poem that not only explains what the term means but what it means from the perspective of the world we know and different themes within that term. Beautifully written and would be a wonderful teaching tool where students can explore what they value most.

Woke is the perfect beginning for those young ones who need to learn about antiracism as well as people who have been working towards it for years.

This book was not aimed at me, but it was an interesting read. If I taught middle school, I would like to have it in my classroom library.
