"[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.
