We Want Our Books - Thryft

Rebellious children championing the joy of reading.

"We Want Our Books" is not just a story; it's a captivating call to action for anyone who has ever felt the transformative power of literature. The book's vibrant illustrations and poignant, spirited narrative bring to life the importance of standing up for what you believe in—especially when it comes to preserving the magic of books. It's an ideal read for youngsters learning about activism or for book lovers who relish stories about the power of community and the written word.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A defiant, moving and joyful picture book about the power of protest and the importance of books. From the winner of the Macmillan Prize 2019, We Want Our Books is a stunningly illustrated story that shows how any child has the power to change the world. Rosa wants a book. But when she gets to the library, she finds it is closed. What could be the end of the story is just the beginning, as Rosa and her sister Maria try everything they can think of to bring their community together and fight to get back their precious library. A picture book that features big subjects in a child-friendly way, with beautiful artwork, making this the perfect discussion starter for curious children. From debut author and illustrator, Jake Alexander, winner of the Creative Conscience Gold Medal.
