Frankie and Friends: The Big Protest

Beschreibung

Young reporter Frankie and her news crew of beloved toys learn why and how people protest in the second book of the heart-warming Frankie and Friends series. There's breaking news on TV at Frankie's house - a protest to demand justice! Frankie's mama, a journalist, gets a call to cover the story, and Frankie wants to do her own reporting, too. But what is a protest, and why do people do it? Along with her news crew, including Farrah the doll, Dan the teddy bear and Nina the cat, Frankie prepares a feature story by doing research and conducting interviews. And when the toys decide to have their own protest in support of the local movement, Frankie is on the scene to help make signs, march, and, of course, get the scoop! In this latest installment of the charming series, Frankie explores big ideas like racial injustice and activism with her supportive family and learns more about journalism in the process.
