Synopsis:

The inspiring true story of how Indigenous activist Michael Redhead Champagne found his voice to create change in his community.

Michael might be young, but he’s got a big heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. He knows it’s right to help people when they need it—but what can he do when so many people need help?

When Michael finds out about an upcoming youth conference, he sees his chance. But when he gets to the conference, he’s the youngest person there! And the speaker on stage is saying things about his community that aren’t true. Will Michael be brave enough to use his voice to stand up for what he knows is right?

Little By Little is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about how one person can spark change and inspire others.

Reviews

"We Need Everyone is populated by kids of all different shapes, sizes and skin tones, with different abilities and, of course, different interests and gifts. It’s as the title says: a strong, healthy, vibrant community needs everyone."— Winnipeg Free Press
 
"We Need Everyone echoes a universal truth: we are in this world to be supportive and respectful of each other's gifts and talents. Michael's love for and commitment to this powerful idea is revealed on every page." —Fred Penner, Juno Award-winning entertainer

​"We Need Everyone is a book that has been needed for a long time! This book shows us why it is important to look for what people can bring to a community, rather than what they are missing or need to change. It also reminds us that every single one of us has something to offer, exactly as we are." —Shelley Moore, author of One Without the Other
