+# Child to parent data flow
+
+Despite React having a uni-directional, downwards data-flow, it is sometimes necessary to pass events and data from a child back up to the parent. This need can arise when you want to modularize functionality within a child component rather than have everything happening in the parent, and you don't want to use a common shared higher context.
+
+For the example we will use the standard click incrementer.
+
+We have a counter on the parent that is updated in response to a click event in the child component.
