Innosanto Nagara
Innosanto Nagara is the author and illustrator of the classic board books “A is for Activist” and “Counting on Community”. He has also written and illustrated social justice themed children’s books for different ages. His picture book “My Night in the Planetarium” and the ‘highly illustrated’ middle grade book “M is for Movement aka Humans Can’t Eat Golf Balls” bring readers into a world shaped by colonialism, resistance art, and movements led by youth. “The Wedding Portrait” is a true story about why sometimes, when faced with injustice, we must be willing to break the rules. And his latest book, “Oh, the Things We’re For!”, is a celebration of the world we strive to build–because movements must be sustained by inspiration and hope.
