Meena Harris debuts with an empowering picture book about two sisters who work with their community to effect change, inspired by a true story from the childhood of her aunt, US Senator Kamala Harris, and mother, lawyer, and policy expert Maya Harris.
One day, Kamala and Maya had an idea. A big idea: they would turn their empty apartment courtyard into a playground! But doing that turns out to be harder than expected — harder than two kids can manage on their own. So the girls turn to their family, friends, and neighbors, and working together, they're able to create the playground of their dreams. This charming picture book celebrates the power of cooperation and reminds kids that "No one could do everything. But everyone could do something."
