"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" by Jabari Asim is a charming picture book that tells the story of a young John Lewis, a prominent civil rights leader. Set in the rural South, the narrative follows young John as he dreams of becoming a preacher. He practices his sermons to a very attentive audience of chickens, and through this experience, he finds his voice and passion for justice. The book beautifully captures themes of resilience, leadership, and the importance of speaking out for what is right, celebrating the early influences that shaped Lewis's remarkable journey towards activism.
