Comments

Nagara builds on the success of A Is for Activistwith a counting book that celebrates active communities, devoting pages to everything from urban farming and chalk drawing to potlucks and protests ("Eight picket signs/ showing that we care"). Nagara's vibrant digital collages hum with energy as a multicultural crew of children and adults work, play, and collaborate. Brushed, woodgrain-style textures lend an organic feel to the images, while radiating lines in the backgrounds emphasize the idea that close-knit communities like this one have real power. -- Publisher's Weekly (07.09.2015) Read more...

Innosanto Nagara is writing a new kind of children's book. Besides being a fun, rhythmic, and lively text to read, the book's illustrations present a world of diversity and complex, inclusive beauty. We should shower our children, schools, libraries, and our communities with books like this one. -- Julia Alvarez, author of When the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent and In the Time of the Butterflies.
