This powerful and hopeful book—inspired by the historic election of Vice President Kamala Harris—celebrates brown and Black girls.

Brown girl, brown girl, what did you see?
A world that sees my skin before it sees me.

Based on a viral poem by Blaxican poet and activist Leslé Honoré, and illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Cozbi A. Cabrera, this moving journey through the past, present, and future of brown and Black girls is a celebration of community, creativity, and joy—and offers a reminder of the history that inspires hope, and the hope that inspires activism.

Genre:

* "Honoré’s energetic poem-turned-picture book debut offers a contemplative call-and-response-style ode to brown girls everywhere.... In scene after scene, striking painterly acrylics by Caldecott Honoree Cabrera picture brown girls of myriad hair textures and skin tones joining together to dance, play, and stand tall."
