Description

Celebrate what makes being together special in this lively, touching ode to community and friendship featuring clever die-cuts to peek through

Alone, we are strong / Together, we are invincible
Alone, we grow / Together, we flourish

The spare but powerful text in this joyful picture book explores why we need each other--our friends, families, neighbors, and communities--while also gently reassuring little ones that being alone is powerful, too. Charming art and clever peek-through die-cuts reveal surprising transformations with each page turn. Alone & Together teaches young readers that individual contributions combined with community cooperation make anything possible!

About the Author

Émilie Chazerand is a French author who writes mainly for young people, in line with her childhood dream. Before making a living from her books, she was a nurse. She practiced in gynecology, emergency, psychiatry, and even worked in pharmaceutical research. And she hated it! She loves the idea that these intense, difficult years serve her practice as an author now. She likes to think she's still in the care field, but with words instead of infusions and humor instead of painkillers. Chazerand lives in Alsace, France. Amandine Piu was born near Lyon, France. She graduated from the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, France. A pinch of poetry, a handful of color, and a big dose of humor are in her illustrator suitcase. She has illustrated several books for children, in addition to creating postcards, posters, and board games . . . a merry bazaar of poetry and humor. She lives in Alsace, France.

Critical Reviews

"While many children's books promote the value of community, this appealing volume offers equally good reasons for spending time alone as well."
