    From the bestselling author of Reading While Black comes a sweet and inspiring picture book that weaves together history and faith to help families talk about how everyone—including children—can be a voice for justice.

    Andy Johnson loves fighting battles. Especially when he has his favorite sword, the Destroyer, by his side. So when Dad announces that the Johnson family is heading to the city to join a march, Andy’s ready to don his battle gear and be the best soldier!

    Except this isn’t a march to war . . . it’s a march for justice.

    Join Andy and the rest of the Johnson kids as they learn how we can answer God’s call for justice and how marching is one way people can fight for a world that reflects God’s love and compassion—from the civil rights era up to today.

    Building on the first Johnson family book, Josey Johnson’s Hair and the Holy Spirit, and inspired by a conversation with his own children after taking them to a protest march, Esau McCaulley provides an accessible resource for parents and educators looking to engage kids on the topics of racism, discrimination, and social justice through a biblical and historical perspective.

    Andy Johnson had lots of energy. He never stopped moving.
    He loved racing, chasing, jumping, and kicking.

    Most of all, Andy loved fighting battles.

    When he battled against his older brother, Isaiah,
    Andy felt brave . . . even if sometimes he got hurt
    and sometimes he got into trouble.
