Writer Brings Tales Of Activism To Kids

aisforactivist.com

Innosanto Nagara grew up in a place and a time where people had to stand up for their rights. 

The place was Indonesia, the time was during the 30-year rule of the repressive Suharto.  Nagara is an activist, and the author of an eyebrow-raising children's book called A is for Activist

He stays in the children's section of the library with his latest work, about a night he feared his father would be arrested for his activism. 

My Night at the Planetarium is the new work.  Innosanto Nagara visits to talk about his writing.
