From the Fields to the Fight: How Jessica Govea Thorbourne Organized for Justice is great for kids

Posted on by Leave a comment

A timely and inspiring picture book biography of Jessica Govea Thorbourne, a Latina labor activist who worked alongside Dolores Huerta to bring attention to the plight of migrant farmworkers.

When Jessica Govea Thorbourne was four years old, she began picking crops in the California fields. One resilient girl, doing what was needed to help her family. As Jessica grew up, she saw her community struggling. Farm workers were being treated unfairly. But she was just one child. What could she do?

Jessica stood up for justice and learned to organize for change, passing out flyers, speaking to crowds, and rallying other kids to petition for a neighborhood park. As an adult, she joined the United Farm Workers and played a pivotal role in the success of the California Grape Boycott. Though her journey started when she was very young, Jessica found her voice and empowered others to fight for their rights.

Jessica showed that making a difference can start with just one child.

Beat Every 1-Up

(W) Lan Pitts (A) Joe Hunter

A high-action, beat ’em up with a tender heart and a humorous point of view for fans of arcade cabinets and fighting games.

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager: a natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape, and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Well, not a whole lot. Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch, Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they’ve rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship… …find out in BEAT EVERY 1-UP, a young adult graphic novel that will bring a new definition to “your princess is in another castle!”
