Counting On Community

"Meaningful change begins with doing small things at the local level, like picking up trash on the street, helping a neighbor, planting a community garden. 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

"Few children's books present a world in which kids and their families are so diverse, engaged, and vibrant. Not only is Counting on Community an endearing and beautifully illustrated book, it represents the best hopes and dreams for our communities."--Bryant Terry, food justice activist, host of the PBS series The Endless Feast, and author of Afro-Vegan

"At last, a counting book that will speak to all kinds of different people, living in diverse environments! Counting on Community has real-world content that breaks up stereotypes while teaching."--Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
