Together - by Winsome Bingham (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A radiant ode to family love in its many forms, from award-winning author Winsome Bingham and New York Times bestselling illustrator Joy Hwang Ruiz

Whether biking or hiking, baking or caking, breakdancing or tap-dancing--or simply living, laughing, and loving--we were meant to be together.

And during those times when we can't be together, we have the memories that imprint our minds and the knowledge that Together is in our hearts.

Featuring a diverse array of families and circumstances, this tender picture book is an ode to togetherness that also acknowledges the difficult times when being together isn't possible--while reassuring young readers that "together" will come again.

With spare, moving text by award-winning author Winsome Bingham and warm, inclusive illustrations by New York Times bestselling illustrator Joy Hwang Ruiz, Together celebrates the joy of time spent with loved ones and the family bonds that connect us whether we're near or far.
