Illustrated by
Dare Coulter.
This powerful picture-book adaptation of a poem from a 2022 prayer gathering for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson celebrates the strength, resilience, and boundless potential of Black girls, showing that their crowns shine with the legacies of those who preceded them. Luminous, star-spangled, mixed-media illustrations connect Jackson’s journey to the U.S. Supreme Court with African American women’s history, highlighting such luminaries as Harriet Tubman and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. A lyrical invitation to young readers to believe in themselves and embrace their dreams.
