Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

My granny is taking me on THE WALK. “Because leaders are not born,” she says. “They’re made through molding and modeling.” “What’s the walk?” I ask. “You’ll see. And there’s a few treasured souls coming too.” Granny and her granddaughter are going on a walk. But this is not just any walk. It’s a walk that must not be missed, one that is more important than ever but has been made increasingly difficult for many to participate in. It’s a walk that joins together a community, that lifts voices, that allows us to speak up, stand up, and say what’s on our minds. It’s a walk for hope. Where are all these treasured souls going? Just walk on and find out.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

"Bingham effectively carries readers through an important yet simple event while conveying its significance as a milestone…This lovely introduction to an essential topic will be a new classic." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Serious but not solemn, this picture book is an excellent read-aloud choice for classroom units on democracy, civil rights, and voting.” Booklist (starred review)
“Bingham…tackle[s] a weighty topic by leaving plenty of room for additional discussion.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Gorgeous writing…with an impactful message make this work an essential purchase." School Library Journal (starred review)
"Emana Rachelle narrates this child’s-eye view of a walk (to the polls) with Granny. While acoustic guitar music plays, Rachelle cheerfully delivers a young Black girl's patter and questions as she tries to guess their destination. Granny’s responses sound kind and playful. Upbeat music and Rachelle’s smiling voice convey a positive sense of purpose and community to the tradition of bringing 'souls to the polls.'" - Audiofile Magazine , Earphones Award
