Ubuntu is an ancient African word that means I am because we are.
When author and illustrator Dana Sardano began raising both her daughters, she committed to breaking unhealthy cycles and teaching her girls another way-a better way. Dana began to instill the philosophy of ubuntu into her child rearing to ensure that her children valued cooperation over competition, that they understood humanity is based on our humanness and our humanness begins with empathy and kindness. When Dana's elder daughter entered kindergarten and was learning how to read, Dana created Me, You, Ubuntu, an adorable little story that celebrates sharing and caring. Me, You, Ubuntu teaches children at an early age the importance of creating an environment that uplifts and empowers everyone This endearing little story with its quirky artwork and powerful message has assisted in instilling the concept of unity within her own children and promises to ignite the Ubuntu spirit in your beginning readers too
