Counting up from one stuffed piñata to ten hefty hens--and always counting on each other--children are encouraged to recognize the value of their community, the joys inherent in healthy eco-friendly activities, and the agency they posses to make change. A broad and inspiring vision of diversity is told through stories in words and pictures. And of course, there is a duck to find on every page!

Born and raised in Indonesia, INNOSANTO NAGARA moved to the US in 1988 to study zoology and philosophy at the University of California, Davis. After graduating, he moved to the Bay Area, where he continues to live and work as a graphic designer. He is the founder of the Design Action Collective in Oakland, a worker-owned cooperative design studio dedicated to "serving the Movement." Before his own son was born, Nagara helped to raise eight children in the North Oakland cohousing community where he resides, so the author had time to "study" a lot children's books prior to penning his own: A is for Activist, an ABC board book for the kids of the 99%.
