C Is for Co-op

I was picking up a couple of books at Common Good Books the other day and saw a board book called A Is for Activist on the counter in the impulse-purchase area.

I didn't buy it at the time but now I realize I have to go back and grab one (and see if they have the companion book, Counting on Community). Both are by Innosanta Nagara, a Bay-area designer and illustrator.

The page that got me at the time was this one:


It reads:

C is for Co-op.
Cooperative Cultures.
Creative Counter to Corporate vultures.

Oh, and Cats. Can you find the Cats?

I wish I'd had a copy of this while Daughter Number Three-Point-One was growing up. Poor kid. She's visited half the food co-ops in the country.
