Book Description
What does she want to be when she grows up? That's the question Rashada's homeroom teacher asks her one day at school. When she goes looking for the answer, Rashada sets off on a journey that leads to some exciting and strange adventures. At times, she thinks she'll never be able to decide what she wants to be. She even faces the nay-saying of a familiar heckler. But, with the love and support of her family, she is introduced to some amazing new role models.Finding inspiration all around her, Rashada takes what she's learned from the role models' experiences and embraces her sense of ambition and self-confidence. But, will she be able to decide what she wants to be in time for her Career Day presentation on Monday?This first book of the Little Miss Everything series features over 10 real-life Black role models who broke glass ceilings to achieve success. They serve as inspirations to the main character, Rashada, and will likewise be inspirational to any young child who dares to be great.Little Miss Everything eloquently introduces several fascinating career paths that children aren't often told about, and it seamlessly illustrates how the things that kids love to do and are skilled at can translate into the careers they aspire to have in the future. It also presents the achievements of real-life Black role models that any girl or boy of any race or ethnicity can look up to. This book offers an abundance of Black role models to help normalize, for all children, the concept of Black success so that it won't feel so rare and exceptional, as it is often depicted. By highlighting numerous real-life Black success stories, this book helps Black children know that their own success is achievable. And when Black success is normalized in the minds non-Black children, they become much less susceptible to absorbing implicit messages that perpetuate negative stereotypes about Black people and Black culture. In becoming aware of these stories, all kids will naturally embrace the normalcy of Black success. And in this case, normalcy is quite exceptional!

Pages : 576
Book Description
In this instant New York Times bestseller and “multigenerational narrative that’s nothing short of brilliant” (People), two sisters’ lives from the 1950s to the present are explored as they struggle to find their places—and be true to themselves—in a rapidly evolving world from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner. Jo and Bethie Kaufman were born into a world full of promise. Growing up in 1950s Detroit, they live in a perfect “Dick and Jane” house, where their roles in the family are clearly defined. Jo is the tomboy, the bookish rebel with a passion to make the world more fair; Bethie is the pretty, feminine good girl, a would-be star who enjoys the power her beauty confers and dreams of a traditional life. But the truth ends up looking different from what the girls imagined. Jo and Bethie survive traumas and tragedies. As their lives unfold against the background of free love and Vietnam, Woodstock and women’s lib, Bethie becomes an adventure-loving wild child who dives headlong into the counterculture and is up for anything (except settling down). Meanwhile, Jo becomes a proper young mother in Connecticut, a witness to the changing world instead of a participant. Neither woman inhabits the world she dreams of, nor has a life that feels authentic or brings her joy. Is it too late for the women to finally stake a claim on happily ever after? In “her most sprawling and intensely personal novel to date” (Entertainment Weekly), Jennifer Weiner tells a “simply unputdownable” (Good Housekeeping) story of two sisters who, with their different dreams and different paths, offer answers to the question: How should a woman be in the world?
