A breathtakingly simple poem of universal experience shows us the
transformative power of collective action.
“Together
offers a vision of the world we want for our children, one in which
all living things flourish, our communities thrive, and justice
prevails.” –Ibram X. Kendi, author of Antiracist
Baby
In Together,
social justice kids book pioneer Innosanto Nagara teams up with poet
and activist Mona Damluji for a stunningly tender and pitch-perfect
visual feast that juxtaposes individual action with the power of
people acting together. Each
of the ten free-verse couplets in the poem is spread across four
pages of imagery, to make a unique and different kind of board book
for young kids to discover with their families.
The first
illustrated book in which Nagara applies his extraordinary visual
imagination to words not his own, Together is simplicity
itself–a poem about the transformational change that happens when
people stop acting alone and start doing things together.
Together is Nagara’s third board book, following the
immensely popular social justice board books A is for Activist
and Counting on Community.
