Summary

"[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 listeners to embrace their individuality, reject societal limitations, and follow their dreams. This inspiring book uses a poem by acclaimed author Angela Johnson to celebrate girls of color.
