Michael might be young, but he's got a big heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. He knows it's right to help people when they need it--but what can he do when so many people need help?
When Michael finds out about an upcoming youth conference, he sees his chance to learn more about helping others. But when he gets to the conference, he's the youngest person there! And the speaker on stage is saying things about his community that aren't true. Will Michael be brave enough to use his voice to stand up for what he knows is right?
Little by Little is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about how one Indigenous child sparked change and inspired others.
