Beyond Us: A True Story with Implications for All of Us

Connection. Respect. Love.

Regardless of race, religion, gender, social status, or ability, every human desires connection, respect, and love. In Aaron Polansky’s lyrical style, Beyond Us encourages us all to embrace and celebrate the differences that make each person unique. 

With powerful illustrations from Rin Rezendes, Beyond Us is a courageous testament to the power of moving beyond fear to a place of authenticity and kindness.
