# Oh, the Things We're For! - Hardcover

by **Innosanto Nagara** (Author)

**A new book by the author of _A is for Activist_ is a rhyming, boldly illustrated vision of a better world.**

_When you go to a march_  
_And raise your sign high_  
_You'll make people smile_  
_who thought you were shy_  
_And you'll make people wonder, does that kid really know why?_  
_You DO know of course_  
_That's why you are there_  
_You're there to say STOP_  
_What's happening's not fair_  
  
_Then they say,_  
_we know what you're against_  
_End poverty stop war..._  
_But okay_  
_then what are you for?_  
  
_Oh What are we for_  
_That's my favorite question_  
_And I'm sure it's yours too_  
_Because you pay attention_  
_You have so many answers_  
_And so many options_  
_And so many solutions that you want to impart_  
_The only hard question is where does one start?_

_Oh, The Things We're For_ is a celebration of the better world that is not only possible, but is here today if we choose it. Today's kids are well aware of the many challenges that they face in a world they are inheriting, from climate change to police violence, crowded classrooms to healthcare. Poetically written and beautifully illustrated in Innosanto Nagara's (_A is for Activist_) signature style, this book offers a vision of where we could go--and a future worth fighting for. _Oh, the Things We're For_ is a book for kids, and for the young at heart of all ages.
