About
Created by a debut author-illustrator: Jake Alexander, winner of the Creative Conscience Gold Medal and the Macmillan Prize 2019.
In this heartfelt picture book, a young girl named Rosa goes to the library hoping to borrow a book — only to discover the library has been closed. Disappointed but determined, Rosa and her sister Maria start a grassroots campaign to save their community library. Through protest, art, and collective action, they rally their neighbors and friends, showing how even children can make their voices heard and fight for access to books — a story that celebrates the power of activism, community solidarity, and the right to read.
“An empowering story about saving libraries… a powerful, dramatic and inspirational story about the difference even a child can make if they take action and get their voice heard.” — LoveReading4Kids
