About The Book

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2023. Based on the viral poem by Coretta Scott King honoree Junauda Petrus this picture book debut imagines a radically positive future where police aren’t in charge of public safety and community well-being.. Petrus first published and performed this poem after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri in 2014. With every subsequent police shooting it has taken on new urgency culminating in the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer blocks from Junauda''s home.   In its picture book incarnation Can We Please Give the Police Department to the Grandmothers? is a joyously radical vision of community-based safety and mutual aid. It is optimistic provocative and ultimately centered in fierce love. Debut picture book artist Kristen Uroda has turned Junauda''s vision for a city without precincts into a vibrant and flourishing urban landscape filled with wise and loving grandmothers of all sorts.
