Synopsis

Makena has a passion for fashion and clothes are a way for her to connect with others -- especially when she shares her OOTD (outfit of the day). But some people don't see her for who she is. They only see her as a Black girl and make unfair assumptions. When she experiences a racist incident in her own neighborhood, she decides to use fashion to speak up about injustice. She teams up with her new friends, Evette and Maritza to raise awareness about racism and other issue they care about. Can she encourage her community to look beyond color? The book includes ideas for standing up to racism, a profile of the founder of a fashion organization that supports designers of color, and reader questions to spark conversation.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Denise Lewis Patrick grew up in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Lots of relatives lived nearby, so there was always someone watching out for her and always someone to play with. Every week, Denise and her brother went to the library, where she would read and dream in the children's room overlooking a wonderful river. She wrote and illustrated her first book when she was ten--she glued yellow cloth to cardboard for the cover and sewed the pages together on her mom's sewing machine. Today, Denise lives in New Jersey, where she still loves to read, write, and make books.
