She knows her history and uses it to change her present in Ogreland, where Ogres steal children's parents away at night, put them in cages and send them far, far away. Through joy, intelligence, and love for her community, however, Rebeldita leads with other children and collectively, they fight back. Because ultimately, all children must realize they outnumber the Ogres. Written in fun masterful rhyming language, Rebeldita educates, motivates, and empowers both children and adults to join in the fight against family separation in the United States.
