AUTHOR: Natalie Denny
KEISHA JONES TAKES ON THE WORLD features a feisty young heroine discovering that activism can start right at home. Brimming with humour, friendship, family, and the courage to stand up for what’s right, this is an empowering story that proves even the smallest voices can make a big difference… one bunny at a time!
Meet Keisha Jones; a spirited, brave-hearted young girl who’s ready to challenge unfairness and make her mark. When her Grandpa Joe shares inspiring stories of her “Great Aunt Bee,” a lawyer and activist, Keisha is determined to follow in her footsteps.
With the help of her friends KD and Paisley, she forms the Bee Squad, and together they embark on their very first mission: standing up for rabbit rights. When Keisha discovers that male rabbits are being sold for more than females in the local pet shop, she refuses to accept this injustice. Even after the shop owner insists it’s simply a sales tactic due to an overstock of female rabbits, Keisha and the Bee Squad won’t back down. Their protest quickly gathers momentum, but as events spiral out of control, it leads to a series of unexpected - and hilarious - consequences.
This uplifting and energetic story is filled with both heart and humour. Keisha’s determination shines through lively dialogue and witty storytelling, while Chanté Timothy’s vibrant illustrations bring the characters and their adventures to life.
It’s also a timely and empowering tale, encouraging young readers to believe that they’re never too small to make a difference. Through themes of activism, fairness, and collective action, the book shows that standing up for what’s right can start in the simplest of ways.
At the heart of the story is a warm and supportive network. From Keisha’s Aunt Marie to her loyal friends, readers will see how encouragement, love, and wisdom help her stay strong in her quest for justice. With its fast-paced narrative and engaging voice, the book is perfect for newly independent readers; its humour, relatable characters, and sense of adventure will keep young audiences turning the pages.
