ReviewsThis 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.

Synopsis" It Takes a Village offers a universal, unifying message. It captures perfectly Clinton's vision of a multicultural America working toward a constructive goal. So hopeful and forward-looking." -- The Washington Post "Inspired by her 2006 book of the same name, Clinton's unadorned text celebrates how civic spirit emerges...Most of the storytelling is found in Frazee's delicately textured images, which exude energy, hope, and emotional authenticity." -- Publishers Weekly "This work is a welcome reminder that all people 'are born believers. And citizens, too.'" -- Shelf Awareness "A picture book to share with library audiences, families, and friends. Any audience that champions the abilities and potential of children will appreciate and promote its wise sentiment." -- School Library Journal "This is a look forward, a clarion call that invites children to make the world--their own world--a better place." -- Booklist A Washington Post Best Children's Book of 2017 "What does it take to change the world?"
