<b>A breathtakingly simple poem of universal experience shows us the transformative power of collective action.<br><br>"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 <i>Antiracist Baby</i></b><br><br>In <i>Together</i>, 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 picture book for young kids to discover with their families.<br><br>The first illustrated book in which Nagara applies his extraordinary visual imagination to words not his own, <i>Together</i> is simplicity itself--a poem about the transformational change that happens when people stop acting alone and start doing things together.
