Description

Dawn Raid is a powerful story about one ordinary girl living in extraordinary times. In 1976, Sofia's family is caught up in a movement that encourages immigrant and Indigenous families to stand up for their rights.

As Sofia navigates her own life - trying to earn money for boots, dealing with school pressures, and finding friends - she also learns about the Polynesian Panthers, a group inspired by the Black Panthers in America. Her big brother Lenny becomes involved in the movement, and soon the whole family is standing up for what they believe in.

Told through Sofia's diary entries, this book offers an important perspective on history and social justice. With illustrations throughout, Dawn Raid is a story that will encourage empathy and understanding.
