(3) K-3 Illustrated by Asa Gilland. When a young girl experiences self-doubt about fitting in at a costume party, her mother teaches her the power of representation by connecting her with real-life Black heroines and helps her create her own superhero-princess identity. The back matter -- a portrait gallery of inspiring Black women -- deepens the message and offers young readers a powerful mirror. A joyful and empowering celebration of identity and imagination, this picture book (originally published in Sweden) shines with full-color, pattern-rich illustrations and heartfelt storytelling.
