We Are Better Together by Bill McKibben and Stevie Lewis - OPTIONAL

We Are Better Together by Bill McKibben, illustrated by Stevie Lewis. PICTURE BOOK. Godwin Books (Macmillan), 2022. $19. 9781250755155 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

Lewis’s illustrations are the star here. McKibben tries to make a point about the value of humans as individuals and the power of humans to make all kinds of things about the planet and about life on it better. Unfortunately, the tone is distracted and didactic and the illustrations can’t make up for that.
