Imagination, solidarity, and care for the natural world

Three children meet while playing outdoors and discover a shared spirit of questioning and invention. Their play becomes a way of working together when a nearby lagoon dries up and a bird is stranded in its bed; the children look to their ancestors for guidance. The story connects children’s agency with collective care, including the principle that no one should be left behind. Its picture-book premise brings activism and social justice into a child-centered story grounded in friendship, imaginative language, and concern for a local environment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about friendship and cooperation
  • Young readers curious about activism, social justice, and caring for nature
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book that prompts discussion about asking questions and helping others

Book overview

Do you know a little rebel? Do you want to be a rebel, too? A powerful new picture book from Caldecott Honoree Yuyi Morales, creator of Dreamers and Bright Star.

A New York Times-NYPL Best Illustrated Children's Book!

Little rebels have a way of finding each other. When these three youngsters come together while playing outside, they feel the pull--these are their people.

Little rebels ask questions. They use language to shape the world, and when no words are right, they make up new ones. They imagine, trust their intuition, and aren't ashamed to change their minds.

Playing together in good times leads to working together through trouble. When the local lagoon dries up and a bird friend is trapped in the dry bed, the little rebels call on ancestors to show them what to do. Nobody gets left behind.
