Description
Counting up from one stuffed pianata to ten hefty hens--and always counting on each other--children are encouraged to recognize the value of their community, the joys inherent in healthy eco-friendly activities, and the agency they posses to make change.
"Meaningful change begins with doing small things at the local level. . . Counting on Community encourages our children to embrace the power within each of us to create the world anew, to become solutionaries." (Grace Lee Boggs, Lifelong social activist and author of The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the 21st Century)
Innosanto Nagara is writing a new kind of children's book. We should shower our children, schools, libraries, and our communities with books like this one. (Julia Alvarez, author A Wedding in Haiti: The Story of a Friendship and in the Time of the Butterflies)
