And citizens, too.’” –Shelf Awareness “What does it take to change the world?” Former Secretary of State and Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton’s first book for young readers, inspired by the themes of her classic New York Times bestselling book It Takes a Village, and illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee, asks readers what can they do to make the world a better place?

“This is a feel good book about how we can all help each other. The illustrations are simple and diverse. As this book was written by Hillary Clinton, it may be polarizing politically even though the book does not discuss politics.”
