"Warrior Grandma: The Story of Patricia Locke by Littlebrave Beaston is our latest Change Maker title. Patricia Locke-whose Indigenous name means "Compassionate Woman"-courageously fought for the equality of Indigenous people in the United States and around the world. She was not only a staunch advocate for the rights of Indigenous people but a loving mother and grandmother. She embodied the qualities of a true Change Maker. This book teaches children and junior youth the values of generosity, selflessness, and the importance of building strong family relationships. Readers will also learn about the rampant prejudice toward Indians that exists today and how Patricia advocated for equal rights for Indigenous people during her lifetime. The book also discusses the qualities of leadership, the principle of consultation, and the importance of courage and perseverance in the face of oppression, subjugation, and attempted assimilation. Readers will also learn about how Patricia acted as a bridge between two cultures-white and Indigenous-and how, even in the face of overwhelming prejudice, she always demonstrated compassion toward others"-- Provided by publisher.
