What Can a Citizen Do

Dave Eggers

A citizen can pick up litterA citizen can pull a weedA citizen can help that critterA citizen can plant a seedA citizen can aid a neighborA citizen can join a causeA citizen can write a letterA citizen can help change laws . . .Empowering and timeless, What Can a Citizen Do? is the latest collaboration from the acclaimed duo behind the bestselling Her Right Foot: Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris. This is a book for today’s youth about what it means to be a citizen.Across the course of several seemingly unrelated but ultimately connected actions by different children, we watch how kids turn a lonely island into a community-and watch a journey from what the world should be to what the world could be.This is a book about what citizenship-good citizenship-means to you, and to us all.
