INNOSANTO NAGARA's new-wave board books encourage children to grow up with confidence in themselves, and to be proactive children who are passionate about causes from environmental issues to LGBTQ rights and civil rights. Nagara was born and raised in Indonesia, and moved to the US in 1988. After studying zoology and philosophy at UC David, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked as a graphic designer for a range of social change organizations, before founding the Design Action Collective, a worker-owned cooperative design studio in Oakland, California.
Dubbed Howard Zinn's The People's History of the United States for kids, this gorgeous board book moves through the alphabet teaching kids about key tenets of activism--justice and peace--and vital freedom fighters who've forged the path, like Malcolm X. --healthyway.com
