“[Un] llamado para que las niñas rechacen las limitaciones impuestas por los demás sobre ellas y sus sueños.”—excelente, The Horn Book Magazine

“Una vez soñé que nadaba / en el mar / y vi todo lo profundo, maravilloso / y fui parte de las olas. / Al nadar, las personas / en la orilla / gritaban: / ‘Una niña como tú tiene que / permanecer fuera del agua / y estar seca / como todos nosotros.’”

Motiva a las personas jóvenes a abrazar su individualidad, rechazar las limitaciones de la sociedad y perseguir sus sueños. Este inspirador libro ilustrado reúne un poema de la aclamada autora Angela Johnson y las características ilustraciones de fotomontaje de Nina Crews para celebrar a las niñas de color.

“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. Now in Spanish.
