A little black girl holds true to her dream that on the stage you can be whatever you want—even if it’s Snow White.
This is a beautifully illustrated story using language which encourages hope, body positivity, and self-worth.
Franklin has created a story that adults can use to discuss overcoming discrimination and embracing all of your attributes with young children. Glenn's artwork is stunning, glossy, candy colored, and detailed with shifting perspectives and a lot of variety in each spread.
This is a great picture book! What a great message for every child...believe in yourself - you are just right for whatever you want to be!
