Colorful, positive, and empowering- what a great collection of freeform poems for young readers! Such a visual and uplifting treat of a book. ( )

This book taught a great lesson about African American girls loving their bodies for the way it is and having confidence in the skin color they are born in. ( )

I wish I had found this poetry book when it was published in 2020. It is an empowering book of poems, each page a new poem with a drastic change in the topic, the illustrations, and the "character" of the poem. Topics range from acne to body positivity to exploring. This is an empowering read for girls of all ages. This book can be read just like a normal picture book, or each poem is substantial enough to read one a day and discuss. The topics are relevant to girls everywhere. This book promotes girls to be confident in who they are, stand up for what they believe in, and believe they can make a difference. ( )
