Synopsis

"[A] rallying cry for girls to reject limitations others might place on them and their dreams."--starred, The Horn Book Magazine

Empower young readers to embrace their individuality, reject societal limitations, and follow their dreams. This inspiring picture book brings together a poem by acclaimed author Angela Johnson and Nina Crews's distinctive photocollage illustrations to celebrate girls of color.
