<p>***STARRED REVIEW***<br /> "Bingham effectively carries readers through an important yet simple event while conveying its significance as a milestone for an individual, a family, a community, and a nation. The child’s-eye view of the day, clear prose, and strong relationships between characters make this an engrossing read, while statements about injustice are communicated subtly in comments between adult characters and the length of the walk itself—layers that can be unpacked with children who are ready to learn more. Lewis’ work is at its best here; detailed watercolor paintings immerse readers in the life of a multicultural community on a bright day. This lovely introduction to an essential topic will be a new classic."</p>

Publishers Weekly

From award-winning creators Winsome Bingham and E.B. Lewis, this powerful story celebrates a journey crucial to our democracy: the walk to voteMy granny is taking me on THE WALK.“Because leaders are not born,” she says. “They’re made through molding and modeling.”“What’s the walk?” I ask.“You’ll see. And there’s a few treasured souls coming too.”Granny and her granddaughter are going on a walk. But this is not just any walk. It’s a walk that must not be missed; one that is more important than ever, but has been made increasingly difficult for many to participate in. It’s a walk that joins together a community, that lifts voices; that allows us to speak up, stand up, and say what’s on our minds. It’s a walk for hope. Where are all these treasured souls going? Just WALK ON and find out.
