Art as a way to speak up

A young boy’s response to seeing inequity is to bring his art and activism together. After a mural attracts wide attention online, he uses painting as a way to call attention to injustice and imagine change. The picture book connects creative expression with civic action, framing art as something children can use to notice problems in their own lives and communities. Nikkolas Smith’s illustrations accompany the story, which centers on the idea of making and sharing art as one response to a world in need of repair.

Book overview

An inspiring picture book about how children can combine art and activism in their daily lives.

"They say I'm an artist. They say I'm an activist."

When a young boy realizes the scope of inequities in the wider world, he's seized with the urge to do more. He decides to bring together the different parts of himself--the artist and the activist--to become. . . an Artivist. After his mural goes viral, he sets out to change the world one painting at a time.

With inspiring text and stunning illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, The Artivist is a call to action for young readers to point out injustice in their lives and try to heal the broken bones of the world through their art.
