Children’s reading committee, Northland College Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute“In the children’s category of the Award, the winning book is Count on Us! Climate Activists from One to a Billion, written by Gabi Snyder and illustrated by Sarah Walsh (Barefoot Books). Suitable for children ages four to seven and structured as a counting book, Count on Us! begins with a single action, “one small person / taking one small step,” and then builds to a depiction of collective action, with a billion diverse people “zooming towards a better future!”
Richly illustrated with examples of taking actions that make a difference, Count on Us! offers a vision filled with hope and empowerment that emphasizes the exponential strength of collective action.”
