Gr 4–9—Tate focuses on a collection of groups and initiatives that work to make the world a better place on a daily basis. The book reflects on different types of families, communities, organizations, and causes, both historical and modern. The photographs are inclusive of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and nationality. There are a number of spotlight sections called "Love This!" that spotlight encouraging stories around the world, and "Community Facts" provide a short snippet of trivia surrounding some aspect of community. A number of print and online resources are provided, along with a sizable glossary. Readers will find this book helpful in understanding different types of communities and organizations and in finding new ways to get involved in making the world a better place to live.
VERDICT A good purchase for libraries looking to expand their collection of titles surrounding community and becoming active in organizations.
