Counting on Community (Board Book)

Publishers Weekly,Nagara builds on the success of A Is for Activist with a counting book that celebrates active communities. Following some unfortunate apostrophe omissions on the opening spread ("Living in a community,/ it's a lot of fun!/ Lets count the ways./ Lets start with one"), it's smooth sailing as Nagara devotes 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. Ages 3-7.
