Author Notes:Emily Easton is the vice president and publisher of Crown Books for Young Readers. While she usually works to create books from the other side of the desk, she was inspired by the activism of the Parkland survivors to write this book in celebration of the people who have stood up to power to help make our country a more perfect union. ENOUGH! PROTESTERS WHO CHANGED AMERICA is her first book. She is also a history buff, avid movie fan, music connoisseur, and all-around pop culture aficionado. Emily lives in New Jersey with her husband.

She has several illustrated picture books to her name, including JUST RIGHT FAMILY: AN ADOPTION STORY, MELA AND THE ELEPHANT, and WHEN I CARRIED YOU IN MY BELLY. She also did the cover art for GIVE PLEASE A CHANCE by Bill O'Reilly and James Patterson. When not painting, Ziyue enjoys reading, sketching, swimming, and spending time with her family and friends.
