Alan Page reads from "The Invisible You"

 

Celebrate what makes each child special and unique in this wonderful hardcover children’s book by Alan Page and his daughter Kamie Page, with artwork by Dave Geister.

 

The goal of our new children’s book, The Invisible You, is to nurture a conversation celebrating the things that make people different and unique and the common things we share. Co-authored by Justice Alan Page and Kamie Page, a second grade teacher, and illustrated by Minneapolis artist David Geister, The Invisible You focuses on a young boy, Howard, and a hard first day at a new school in a new neighborhood.

The Invisible You is a simple, yet important concept, delivered in a story that’s easy for all children to understand... And adults too. The Invisible You is what makes you, you. It’s who you are deep down, not the color of your skin or where you come from. It is your passions, your achievements, your dreams.
