Descriere

After the atrocities of 9/11 in the States and the bombings in Brussels in early 2017, McGhee and Lemaitre reached out to one another with thoughts of hope and perseverance. The result is a lyrical and timely story about a little girl who learns the power of kindness, bravery, and friendship in the face of uncertainty. Full color. nTogether, the words and pictures work seamlessly to deliver a powerful message: What we do matters.--R. J. Palacio, The New York Times n When the news reports are flooded with tales of hatred and fear, a girl asks her papa what she can do to make the world a better place. Come with me, he says. Hand-in-hand, they walk to the subway, tipping their hats to those they meet. The next day, the girl asks her mama what she can do--her mama says, Come with me, and together they set out for the grocery, because one person doesn't represent an entire race or the people of a land. After dinner that night, the little girl asks if she can do something of her own--walk the dog . . . and her parents let her go. Come with me, the girl tells the boy across the hall. Walking together, one step at a time, the girl and the boy begin to see that as small and insignificant as their part may seem, it matters to the world. n n In this lyrical and timely story, author Holly M. McGhee and illustrator Pascal Lema tre champion the power of kindness, bravery, and friendship in the face of uncertainty.n
