Description

"[A] rallying cry for girls to reject limitations others might place on them and their dreams."—starred,The Horn Book Magazine"Once I dreamed I swam / the ocean / and saw everything deep,

cool / and was part of the waves. / I swam on by the people / onshore /

hollering, / 'A girl like you needs to / stay out of the water / and be dry /

like everyone else.'"Empower young readers to embrace their individuality, reject societal limitations, and follow their dreams. This inspiring picture book brings together a poem by acclaimed author Angela Johnson and Nina Crews's distinctive photocollage illustrations to celebrate girls of color.
