From Misty Copeland to Rosa Parks to Nina Simone, this picture book companion to Hair Like Obama's, Hands Like Lebron's is a celebration of Black history and excellence from powerhouse author Carole Boston Weatherford

With a voice as bold as Beyonc?'s, my vocals strike a chord.
With vision as clear as Oprah's, success is my reward.
With arms as open as Michelle's, I'm bringing others along.
With the breath of my ancestors, I'm singing a new song.

Inspired by photographs of Michelle Obama's famously warm hugs, this is a delightful companion book to Hair Like Obama's, Hands Like LeBron's. Carole Boston Weatherford's powerful text--illuminated by Savanna Durr's accessible, jewel-toned art--is an ode to the beauty, strength, resilience, and power that all children have within them. Young readers will learn about 17 inspiring female figures, gaining confidence in their own abilities and cultural legacy as they see themselves in each one. From ballerina Misty Copeland to NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, this is a celebration of Black history and excellence.

Young readers will learn about the inspiring, strong female figures in Black history up to the present day, gaining confidence in their abilities and their cultural legacy as they learn. The back matter includes an author's note and biographies of each of the featured figures: Simone Biles, Misty Copeland, Angela Davis, Kamala Harris, Iman, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Katherine Johnson, Beyonc? Knowles-Carter, Edna Lewis, Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks, Faith Ringgold, Nina Simone, Dawn Staley, Harriet Tubman, Kerry Washington, and Oprah Winfrey.
