Details. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9780241619254. Publisher: DK Children. Age Range: 14-18 (Young Adult). Overview. Being an Ally: World Book Day 2023 is a compact paperback collection of true, first-person stories from seven acclaimed and bestselling YA authors, each sharing a moment of showing up for someone else, needing support themselves, or learning to listen better. Honest, unflinching and written specifically for teen readers, it turns big ideas about allyship into short, digestible essays that fit perfectly into a single sitting, a classroom lesson, or a bedtime read, making empathy feel achievable rather than abstract.. About the Book. Edited by Shakirah Bourne and Dana Alison Levy, this slim paperback brings together contributions from Bourne, Levy, Derick Brooks, Naomi Evans, Natalie Evans, Lizzie Huxley-Jones and A.J. Sass. Each author writes candidly about a real experience connected to identity, friendship, race, disability, gender or belonging, exploring what it actually means to use your own power - however big or small - to support someone else. Rather than offering neat, tidy answers, the collection embraces the messiness of trying, getting it wrong, and trying again, which is exactly what makes it feel so genuine to teen readers navigating similar situations in their own lives. Produced as part of World Book Day 2023, the book was designed as an accessible entry point into bigger conversations about kindness, inclusion and standing up for others - useful for independent reading, but just as valuable for classroom discussion or family talk time. Its short essay format means readers can dip in and out, revisiting favourite pieces, and each contributor brings a distinct voice and life experience to the shared theme, giving the collection real breadth despite its brevity.. Seven honest, first-person essays from bestselling and critically acclaimed YA authors. Short-form structure ideal for reluctant readers, classroom slots or single-s
