About the Book: From beloved New York Times bestselling author Pat Zietlow Miller and talented debut illustrator Jerry Jordan comes UNSTOPPABLE JOHN: HOW JOHN LEWIS GOT HIS LIBRARY CARD—AND HELPED CHANGE HISTORY, a poignant picture book biography about how John Lewis helped make libraries more accessible to Black readers, spent a lifetime fighting injustice, and helped change history. All John Lewis wanted was a library card, but in 1956, libraries were only for white people. That didn't seem fair to John, and so he spent a lifetime advocating for change and fighting against unfair laws until the laws changed. Finally, Black people could eat at restaurants, see movies, vote in elections, and even get library cards. With an in-depth author's note, a timeline of John Lewis's life, and a lengthy list of resources, UNSTOPPABLE JOHN explores the profound impact John had on the world and that books had on him.
