Celebrate the Power of You
Written by Ali Kamanda and Jorge Redmond, Illustrated by Amanda Quartey
A book about being yourself. It tells about how a black girl learns to dream and become what she admired. Many role models are featured: Kamala Harris, Wilma Rudolph, Claudette Colvin, Mariam Makeba, Mae Carol Jemison, Misty Copeland, and many others. This would be great for Black History Month and any other time for the library. Well written and beautiful color illustrations.
