In Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan, high school juniors Chelsea and Jasmine learn that "art is never just art," so they decide to "use art to make a statement, to create change." The girls experiment with multiple forms of activism, sometimes with guidance, and even misguidance, from teachers, mentors, community leaders, family and friends. Anyway, Watch Us Rise is still a great and uniquely written book; the immediacy of the social media posts in particular give it a timely feel. It gets my recommendation as part of a truly diverse library. I hope Renee Watson and others like her keep writing, and that as an author with a disability, I can become an authentic "own voices" writer, too.
