The story follows young Vicki Alegría Rodríguez and her older sister, Valentina, who get involved in a campaign for clean streets. They discover they too can make a positive change in their community. “You’re never too young to make a difference!” they say. The coloring pages show scenes of activism, the East Harlem neighborhood, and the community residents.
