Bookroo's summary
In 'What Can a Citizen Do?', children embark on a journey to transform a lonely island into a thriving community. Through seemingly small acts like picking up litter and helping neighbors, they discover the power of good citizenship. As their actions connect, they reveal how the world can change from what it is to what it could be. This beautifully illustrated book invites young readers to explore their role in society and inspires them to make a difference. What will you do to shape the world around you?
From the publisher
A citizen can pick up litter A citizen can pull a weed A citizen can help that critter A citizen can plant a seed A citizen can aid a neighbor A citizen can join a cause A citizen can write a letter A citizen can help change laws . . . Empowering and timeless, What Can a Citizen Do? is the latest collaboration from the acclaimed duo behind the bestselling Her Right Foot: Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris. This is a book for today’s youth about what it means to be a citizen. Across the course of several seemingly unrelated but ultimately connected actions by different children, we watch how kids turn a lonely island into a community—and watch a journey from what the world should be to what the world could be. This is a book about what citizenship—good citizenship—means to you, and to us all.
