Book - The Artivist by Nikkolas Smith

An inspiring picture book about how children (or adults) can combine art and activism in their lives. Wise text and stunning illustrations call young readers to point out injustice and try to heal the world through art.

"They say I'm an artist. They say I'm an activist."

When a young boy realizes the scope of inequities in the wider world, he's seized with the urge to do more. He decides to bring together the different parts of himself—the artist and the activist—to become. . . an Artivist. After his mural goes viral, he sets out to change the world one painting at a time.
