Young reporter Frankie and her news crew of beloved toys learn why and how people protest as this engaging series continues.

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, exactly, 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 with Papa and big sister Raven. 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 winning series, Frankie explores big ideas like racial injustice and activism with her supportive family and learns more about journalism in the process. Young newshounds will learn along with Frankie through all-caps vocabulary terms and a glossary at the back.

What reviewers said

The text is easy to digest and defines related vocabulary (news ticker, fact-finding, solidarity) in terms young readers will understand. In Frankie, Platt has depicted a curious and smart young protagonist, bolstered by her loving, tightknit family. Full of personality, Frankie’s toys cut endearing figures in Marley’s bright, cartoonish illustrations. Gently sheds light on protesting, solidarity, and the ins and outs of journalism.
