Frankie and Friends
The Big Protest

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.
