What Can a Citizen Do?

What Can a Citizen Do? is a book by Dave Eggers that encourages young readers to take an active role in their communities and make a positive difference in the world. The book highlights various ways that kids can get involved, such as volunteering, participating in local politics, and advocating for causes they care about. It also emphasizes the importance of working together and building a strong community. The author, Dave Eggers, is a well-known writer and activist who has authored several other books for children and adults. The book conveys the message that citizens are not born but are made through active participation and engagement in community activities. Across the course of several seemingly unrelated but ultimately connected actions by different children, we watch how kids turn a lonely island into a community—and watch a journey from what the world should be to what the world could be.
