With beautiful illustrations and rhyming text, this is a book about what citizenship—good citizenship—means. 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] charming book provides examples and sends the message that citizens aren’t born but are made by actions taken to help others and the world they live in.” —The Washington Post
“Obligatory reading for future informed citizens.” —The New York Times
