A debut verse novel by Dan Tuttle

This is a story about what we stand for, and how that makes us who we are.

It’s a coming-of-age tale about a girl, a boy, a dog, a dam, a travel ban, an orange toddler, a political movement and the hip-hop guide to life. It’s a novel that confronts questions of privilege, identity, voice and influence in a post-truth world.

But most of all, it’s about the power of the stories we tell ourselves.

This January, The Big Issue devoted an entire issue to the thinkers, creators and agitators changing the world in 2019. We are honoured to lead the Literacy Category, and to be recognised alongside so many other amazing organisations and individuals bringing a social justice lens to the worlds of art, tech, health, journalism, business, housing, and more.
