PB: Together: a Book About Community - Ages 3+
Together we are stronger.
Together we can make a difference.
And together we make a community.
With her signature quirky monsters, beloved children’s book author Elise Gravel explains the importance of working together and creating community. Other people take care of us when we’re sick or hurt, teach us things, and protect us. They help us in many ways, even if being surrounded by other people can sometimes make us feel bad or angry.
Poignant and relevant, Elise emphasizes the importance of friendship, creating support systems, and how through connection and support, we can ensure that everyone in our communities is taken care of and safe. Our communities take care of us and we have to take care of our communities.
ELISE GRAVEL is an award-winning author-illustrator from Quebec. She has won a Governor General's Award for Children's Illustration in French, and is well known for her original, wacky picture books and graphic novels. After completing her studies in graphic design, Elise found herself quickly swept up into the glamorous world of illustration. Her old design habits drive her to work a little text here and there into her drawings and she loves to handle the design of her assignments from start to finish. She is inspired by social causes and likes projects that can handle a good dose of eccentricity.
