Caroline Brewer is an award-winning children’s book author, an artist, environmentalist, literacy consultant, and creator of Nature-Wise. Nature-Wise is a training for teachers and students that blends literacy, outdoor exploration, and an understanding of oneness with nature.
She is the author, most recently, of the picture book, Say Their Names. In Say Their Names, 7-year-old Aliya responds to the aftermath of George Floyd’s death with poetry, history, and an invitation to a love-inspired future. One of the key messages in Say Their Names is the encouragement of “somebodiness,” as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called it. The lead character, Aliya, is saying to children and adults, “You are somebody, you are special, you have worth.”
Ms. Brewer is also author and illustrator of the forthcoming Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature. The 42-page picture book is a reflection, meditation, and poetic blossoming of Harriet’s legacy of oneness with nature. It’s a story of how she lived, moved, and had her being among the wild things and in the realm of spirit. In pictures and words, there’s never been a children’s biography of our beloved Harriet like this.
