An electrifying picture book by New York Times bestselling author and US presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman
Who are we? We are a billion voices, bright and brave; we are light, standing together in the fight.
Girls are strong and powerful alone, but even stronger when they work to uplift one another. In this galvanizing original poem by US presidential inaugural poet and activist Amanda Gorman, girls and girlhood are celebrated in their many forms, all beautiful, not for how they look but for how they look into the face of fear. Creating a rousing rallying cry with vivid illustrations by Loveis Wise, Gorman reminds us how girls have shaped our history while marching boldly into the future.
