Social Justice: How You Can Make a Difference by Lynn Bogen Sanders
While reading Social Justice: How You Can Make a Difference by Lynn Bogen Sanders it really opened my eyes. I never realized how many kids were already making a difference in our world.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my review. All opinions are 100% mine.
Twelve Year Old Iqbal Masih
The book starts out with a story that kept my attention right away. Craig Kielburger who was twelve years old at the time this book was written came across a photo of Iqbal Masih when he was age 12. Iqbal was sold into slavery at the age of 4 which made Craig want to learn more about Iqbal Masih’s life. This also is what triggered Craig into wanting to help other kids. You will have to read Lynn Bogen Sanders’s book to learn more about this heartwarming story.

The five steps include:
