Can We Please Give the Police Department to the Grandmothers?
"Can We Please Give the Police Department to the Grandmothers?" by Junauda Petrus is a poetic picture-book-style work that imagines a world where community safety is guided by loving grandmothers instead of police. Lyrical text and rich illustrations invite readers to think creatively about justice, care, and what neighborhoods could feel like if everyone were nurtured and protected. Parents and educators may use it with older kids and teens as a conversation starter about abolition ideas and community responsibility. It’s not a policy manual, but as an imaginative, artful entry point into big questions, it offers substantial depth in a short, beautiful package.
