Stacey Abrams, politician and Nobel peace prize nominee, is brought to life in this poetic picture book biography that follows Abrams' s fight for voters' rights. Narrated by Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Septima Clark, and Fannie Lou Hamer, this powerful story tells how Abrams' s work was inspired by those luminaries before her. "Sometimes she would light the way. Sometimes her way would be lit by others. . . "Stacey Abrams was always destined for big things, because she always imagined more. Now she protects the least powerful, works toward making voting fair and easy, and demands better for Georgia and every other state in this nation. Stacey Abrams' s determination, perseverance, and courage will inspire younger generations to make meaningful change in the world. Traci Todd' s lyrical text is coupled with stunning artwork from Laura Freeman, Coretta Scott King Honoree for Hidden Figures. Use this book to encourage conversation at home and the classroom about Black women and voting. This book is perfect for Black History Month and to be shared alongside such powerful titles as Kamala Harris: Rooted In Justice by Nikki Grimes and I Dissent by Debbie Levy.
Laura Freeman has illustrated over thirty children' s books, including Hidden Figures written by Margot Lee Shetterly, the Nikki & Deja series by Karen English and Fancy Party Gowns by Deborah Blumenthal. She received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts. In addition to illustrating books and editorial content, her art can be found on a wide range of products, from dishes and textiles to greeting cards. Laura Freeman lives in Atlanta with her husband and their two children. Traci Todd is the children' s publishing director of Workman. She also has several picture book biographies forthcoming - one about Nina Simone (illustrated by Christian Robinson), one about Jackie Ormes (illustrated by Shannon Wright) and one about Ella Jenkins (illustrated by Eleanor Davis), as well as a couple of other non-biography projects.
