It Takes a Village Reviews

This picture book with the same title takes the focus of Clinton's original work--children--and, instead of highlighting how adults can make a world for children, depicts instead the individual agency of children and how "sometimes it takes a child to make a village"....As with all of her works, Frazee's illustrations explode with life.--Shelf Awareness
"Sure to be every little activist's favorite story."--Bustle
