An empowering message inspired by a beloved quote from Madeleine L'Engle's enduring classic “A Wrinkle in Time.”
"Stay angry, little Meg," Mrs. Whatsit whispered. "You will need all your anger now."
This picture book encourages girls everywhere to proudly share their ideas and emotions, even if those traits will be met with resistance. Because being brave, sensitive, stubborn, curious, loud, kind, and playful helps them build strength and stay true to themselves.
Michelle Jing Chan's bright artwork welcomes girls of all backgrounds to use these important affirmations.
"In a bold cartoon style, Chan's illustrations are bursting with color and life, and she features a glorious array of skin tones, physical abilities, and ages. This unique book that embraces sensitivity and encourages action is highly recommended for school and public libraries."
School Library Journal
"Sensitivity, curiosity, loudness, kindness, and playfulness are also embraced in this leanly hortatory accounting of values."
Publishers Weekly
"[This book] gives girls a full-throated endorsement to be true to themselves... Empowering."
