Two Tribes

In a land nearby but a time long ago, two tribes shared a village called Home. The left-leaners and right-leaners drifted apart — until disaster struck and they had to find the common ground that could save them all.
 
Written by Tyler Storlie and illustrated by Rachel Beenken, Two Tribes is a rhyming picture book about empathy, teamwork, and conflict resolution. Kids love the adventure and silly leans; adults catch the nod to our polarized world.
 
Ideal for parents and caregivers (ages 4-8 read-alouds), teachers and counselors (SEL, social skills, civics discussions), and gifts for friends who care about bridging divides.
 
"Two Tribes is a powerful tale on the dangers of a polarized society — and how we can bridge the divide. The message is sure to resonate with readers long after they turn the final page." — John Gable, CEO & co-founder, AllSides
 
"Students rarely come to us with the skills required for understanding differing points of view and conflict resolution... Two Tribes makes it easy for teachers to introduce these difficult concepts." — Angela Clare, National Board Certified Elementary Teacher
