An electrifying new picture book—adapted for audio—by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman
Who are we? We are a billion voices, bright and brave; we are light, standing together in the fight.
Girls are strong and powerful alone, but even stronger when they work to uplift one another. In this galvanizing original poem by presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman, girls and girlhood are celebrated in their many forms, all beautiful, not for how they look but for how they look into the face of fear. Creating a rousing rallying cry, Gorman reminds us how girls have shaped our history while marching boldly into the future.
Amanda Gorman is the youngest presidential inaugural poet in US history. She is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hill We Climb, Call Us What We Carry, and the children's picture books Change Sings and Something, Someday. She has been nominated for a Grammy Award and was honored with the Chairman's Award at the 55th NAACP Image Awards. In a groundbreaking collaboration with the Estée Lauder Companies as a Global Changemaker, she established the Writing Change initiative to support grassroots organizations dedicated to advancing literacy as a pathway to social change. She graduated cum laude from Harvard University and now lives in her hometown of Los Angeles.
