We are a people who matter. Inspired by President Barack Obama's Of
Thee I Sing, Go Show the World is a tribute to historic and
modern-day Indigenous heroes, featuring important figures such as
Tecumseh, Sacagawea and former NASA astronaut John Herrington.
Celebrating the stories of Indigenous people throughout time, Wab Kinew
has created a powerful rap song, the lyrics of which are the basis for
the text in this beautiful picture book, illustrated by the acclaimed
Joe Morse. Including figures such as Crazy Horse, Net-no-kwa, former
NASA astronaut John Herrington and Canadian NHL goalie Carey Price, Go
Show the World showcases a diverse group of Indigenous people in the US
and Canada, both the more well known and the not- so-widely recognized.
Individually, their stories, though briefly touched on, are inspiring;
collectively, they empower the reader with this message: We are people
who matter, yes, it's true; now let's show the world what people who
matter can do.
