In this empowering graphic novel based on a true story, a group of high schoolers in Chicago work to overturn the system-wide ban of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis.It starts as an update at one Chicago high school: copies of a certain book are no longer allowed in the classrooms or the library. But it’s not just one high school—it’s all Chicago public schools. Not even the principals know why this is happening; they just know they must comply with the order. One thing is clear: The book, which tells a story of oppression, survival, and resistance against authoritarian power, is seen as a threat, dangerous enough to ban. One other thing is clear: Some of the students aren’t going to let this go without resistance of their own.As the extent of the ban becomes known, the students rise up. They organize a school-wide walkout and library sit-in. They publicize the banning in every forum they can: social media, the press, classes, clubs, the school paper. And most of all, they get everyone they know to read the book: Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi.Told from multiple perspectives, based on extensive interviews with the real-life students and teachers who were affected, and written by the librarian who exposed key information about the Chicago Public Schools censorship decision, Wake Now in the Fire is a fictionalized account of a true event that galvanized a community. With illustrations by Alex Award-winner AJ Dungo that perfectly capture the everyday joys, heartbreak, and stresses of high school, this graphic novel is an inspiring portrayal of student activism taking on one of the most urgent issues of our time, and a passionate reminder of why protecting the books we love matters.

Now you can meditate on the encouraging words of Dr. Maya Angelou as you align your own color techniques to her brilliant literary art. Need a bit of courage? Dr. Angelou would say, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." Need a little rainbow on a stormy day? Spending time coloring in, "We need joy as we need air," might infuse just the right amount of light into your circumstances. Feeling lonely? Dr. Angelou's famous quote may be just the balm for you: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Each of these 45 gorgeous illustrations offers a canvas for inspiration, drawn onto luxe paper stock perfect for your select artist tools and packaged in a 9.75" x 9.75" trade paperback package--easy to transport anywhere you might need the wordsmith's sage advice to back you up.
MAYA ANGELOU was raised in Stamps, Arkansas. In addition to her bestselling autobiographies, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Heart of a Woman, she wrote numerous volumes of poetry, among them Phenomenal Woman, And Still I Rise, On the Pulse of Morning, and Mother. Maya Angelou died in 2014.
