Who are the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution? They are our neighbors next door, down the street, or across the country. They live in different places, worship in different ways, come from different backgrounds and histories. They struggle, achieve, and overcome. They are you, and me, and us. Because, as we strive to create a more perfect union, “we” should mean “all.”This beautiful picture book celebration of the best of America includes the preamble to the United States Constitution as well as notes from the author and artist.Also look for the Spanish-language edition, Nosotros, el pueblo somos todos.

Recensioner i media

***STARRED REVIEW***“Reeves’ text provides readers with ample space and opportunity to leverage their imaginations…Tonatiuh’s sublime artwork favors sharp color contrasts and warm close-ups…Ingeniously profound in its acknowledgment that the U.S. truly is a land of differences.”
