-These themes and depictions can be found in many other works by Roberts. In Sofia Valdez, Future Prez for example, Sofia's grandfather wears a bucket hat with a few buttons on it; a peace sign, a white button with a pink triangle in the center, and a button that reads "Sí, se puede" which you might recognize as the motto for the United Farm Workers of America labor union. Sofia Valdez is an interesting book in its own right, it isn't about a young girl dreaming about being President, it's about a young girl who petitions her local government, after gathering community support, to build a park where there once was a landfill. It shows that, through community organizing and pressure, you to can make change in your local environment.

-Roberts is an author in his own right, and many of the themes he expresses through his depiction of people and children in his illustration work are full front and center in his own books. He focuses on illustrated history, his first book being [[ https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/34a2742f-e055-4cc8-a095-e73b8cd62301 | Suffragette: The Battle For Equality]] and his second being [[https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/24e7fc40-b1fa-461c-87c3-ab20b1a40601 | We Are Your Children: A History of LGBT+ Activism]].

Both cover the history of struggle, one concerning the Suffragettes and the other an illustrated history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

+After discovering Roberts was both the illustrator of Bath The Cat and Someone Just Like You, I went through our library and found as many books as I could that featured him as an artist. Obviously, Bath The Cat and Someone Just Like You, I highly recommend. One of my other favorites is The Cook and the King by Julia Donaldson. Donaldson is a very popular author, and her story of a nervous chef and a lazy king is made all that much better through David Roberts' artwork. [[ https://app.thestorygraph.com/series/2637 | The Questioneers Picture Books]] are all fantastic stories and I highly recommend you read them. Many of these characters are based on historical figures, and one that touched me deeply (and I had to pause reading it because it made me emotional) was [[ https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b0689db3-d1f6-4be5-b670-1be8fa909407 | Aaron Slater, Illustrator ]]. Here is the afterward of the book for you to read.
