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. oCome with me,o 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, oCome with me,o 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 dogaand her parents let her go. oCome with me,o 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. 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.
