Official Tumblr of We Need Diverse Books

"I knew I wanted to chronicle the everyday extraordinary in our kids’ lives. It’s about celebrating how they matter in the big and small of everything they do."

Breanna J. McDaniel about her debut picture book Hands Up!, out today.

This triumphant picture book recasts a charged phrase as part of a black girl’s everyday life–hands up for a hug, hands up in class, hands up for a high five–before culminating in a moment of resistance at a protest march.

We’re giving away three copies of Hands Up! Follow us and reblog to enter the giveaway.
