I’m excited to let you know HANNAH ALPER is joining us in this year’s Holiday Gift Guide. HANNAH has written a book called Momentus Small Acts, Big Change. I can’t wait to read Momentus Small Acts, Big Change but would like for Charlie to read this as well.
TEEN SOCIAL ACTIVIST HANNAH ALPER’S EMPOWERING FIRST BOOK,
MOMENTUS: SMALL ACTS, BIG CHANGE
Now In Stores!
Teen blogger, motivational speaker and social activist, Hannah Alper’s first book, Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change is officially on the bookshelves! The book’s empowering message supports Hannah’s continual goal of providing quality content for adolescents.
As a writer, activist, public speaker, global citizen, and one of the youngest verified social media users on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, 14-year-old Hannah Alper has found power in using her voice to inspire, motivate and empower people of all ages to identify their passion and take action. Perhaps best known as a motivational speaker and ambassador, she is committed to promoting big change through small, everyday actions and believes in the power of young people to shape the world they want to live in. Momentus shares this journey on the global stage and demonstrates her message coming to life.
“This book has been a passion project of mine for years and I am so happy kids, teenagers, and adults are reading it to make a difference,” said Momentus author Hannah Alper. “I believe that if there are many of us making small actions, it will lead to big change. The title of this book grew out of that idea. When all of our actions are added up, the impact will be momentous and we will change the world. It is about all of us and all of our moments when we are inspired, passionate and moved to act—momentus.”
Comprised of various individual profiles, Momentus explores the lives of the social activists that have inspired Hannah during her lifetime and the significant impacts they are making on our world. Featuring 19 exclusive interviews—conducted by Hannah herself—with activists, celebrities and youth change-makers such as Malala Yousafzai (Nobel Peace Prize Winner), Lilly Singh, AKA ‘Superwoman’ (YouTube Creator and Author), Lily Collins (Actress and model), Michael “Pinball” Clemons (Former Toronto Argonauts player), Marc and Craig Kielburger (Founders of WE), Travis Price (Co-founder of Pink Shirt Day), Blake Mycoskie (Founder of TOMS), and Brad Montague (Creator of Kid President), the book highlights practical examples of the power of positive change in the world, whether large or small. Topics include discussion on acts of change surrounding the environment, education, bullying, equality and inclusivity.
Momentus includes a foreword written by Craig and Marc Kielburger, co-founders of WE that speaks to Hannah’s ability to inspire greatness in others through her belief that every person on earth—no matter what age they may be—has the power to make a world of difference as long as they have the courage to act.
“When we first met Hannah, she was only nine years old, and she completely blew us away,” said Craig Kielburger, co-founder of WE. “In all that she did, she exuded passion, positivity and purpose. After years of dedicating her time and energy to the causes she cares most about, she has since grown as an activist, blogger and impassioned public speaker who uses her voice to remind us that us there is always more work to be done and that we can all play a part in doing something about it.”

I have a question for you have you read Momentus Small Acts, Big Change if so what did you think of it and why? If you haven’t read it is this something you would like to read and why? Would you share it with your children? Could you use it in your Homeschooling class as I think I would if I was still teach Charlie.
Thank you,
