Thanks to chroniclekidsbooks for sharing this book with kidlitexchange and thanks to the kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book all opinions are my own.

I love the song to picture book theory, Use a fun song, or a silly song or a song about standing up for yourself and then give it a picture so it can help kids with navigating their world.
The only problem is that somebody already wrote the words so the books not really doing a whole lot if the illustrations aren't great.
I like the story the illustrations are telling I just am not a huge fan of the colors and medium, Best ever! Such an important read for kids right now, Beautiful and colorful illustrations. Powerful message. Love it. Bob Marley inspired picture book with vibrant and diverse illustrations an excellent addition to a storytime read, a library picturebook collection, or a classroom library.
Beautiful message. From the oldest child of Bob Marley comes the third childrens book adapted from one of his songs, Cedella Marley hopes to continue the message her father spread with his songs, in the form of books for children, This board book offers a message of love and kindness toward others and to stand up against hateful words and actions,

One young girl goes through her day being confronted with hateful words and actions, but she doesnt let them get her down.
She focuses on the kindness of friends and how each of them rallies around to stand up to those who are rude or bully or tease.
She teaches kids to be true to themselves, plant their feet, and dont give up the fight, Kids will be reminded that kindness wins and together they can help each other stand up for their rights,

There is a lot of diversity on the pages, both in the kids being kind and those that are bullying.
The vibrant colors remind me of Bob Marleys signature clothing and colors, This book, based on the song “Get Up, Stand Up” reminds all of us that we can make a difference by being kind.


Bob Marley, a Jamaican singersongwriter, is one of the twentieth centurys most important and influential entertainment icons, and his lifestyle and music continue to inspire new generations as his legacy lives on through his music.

Based on the Bob Marley song, I didnt love this book simply because it felt a little awkward when read out loud, If you dont know the tune as I dont, its hard to read the words in a rhythm because the meter changes.
However, you cant deny even just the words are catchy, and the illustrations are diverse, bold, and colorful,

Thank you kidlitexchange for the review copyall opinions are my own,
The idea behind this book is touching, and the message one that should be repeated time and again,

Bob Marley's daughter, Cedella Marley, wanted to keep the message behind his song Get Up, Stand Up alive, especially for children.
This book takes the song and adapts it in a way children agestoare sure to understand and use in their own lives.
The message is cleardon't just sit and watch injustice happen, but rather stand up for what is right, In this case, scenes from the school day and moments of various types of bullying are presented, The children in the book react by standing up and not staying quiet,

The illustrations are bright and bold, and the characters display tons of energy and attitude, The bullying scenes are depicted in an easy to understand way, while the reaction for the others includes standing up together, The diversity of characters makes it clear that this wonderful message is for everyone, There's a sense of unity in every scene,

The text reflects the song and is easy enough for this age group to understand, While it's not a readaloud for every circumstance, it definitely works well in bringing across a point and can be used to open up a discussion on the topic.
I personally would have liked to have a link where the kids could hear the song or, perhaps, some/all of the song written in the back with the tune so kids could sing along.


I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it enough to want to leave my honest thoughts, The third picture book adaptation of one of Bob Marley's beloved songs that has a message for children: To counter injustice, lift others up with kindness and courage.
Pair with Peter Reynolds Say SOMETHING, Love this song in book form the beautiful, colorful illustrations will aide children in visualizing and seeing the song, Thank you to tlcbooktours for a gifted copy of this book,  

It is national Bullying Prevention Month and Get Up, Stand Up is the perfect book to introduce to your little ones.
As we all know Bob Marley's music was an inspiration and embodiment of peace and love, And Get up, Stand Up uses one of his songs to relay a message we all need to hear, This book is actually written by Cedella Marley, Bob Marley's oldest daughter who has taken some of his famous lyrics of empowerment, love, hope and redemption to create a

series of inspirational books.
I really like that idea and John Jay Cabuay illustrations are nice and bright, Colorful illustrations with many active, vibrant children pictured throughout scenes of bullying are countered with scenes of children standing up for one another and for justice, reminding the reader through actions big and small that "What you give in goodwill, shall be returned back to you.
" The story is based on the lyrics of Jamaican reggae artist Bob Marley, whose music advanced messages of peace, love, and unity, and adapted by his oldest child, daughter and musician Cedella Marley.
