"It's a new day and Ayaan has woken up on the wrong side of the bed, where nothing feels quite right. What if he doesn't know the answer at school? What if he messes up?

HE IS SMART, HE IS BLESSED, AND HE CAN DO ANYTHING!" -- Publisher

Parker Looks Up
"When Parker Curry came face-to-face with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen—one with dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl’s imagination. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book." -- publisher

That’s when she finds it—the perfect solution! Angela Dalton and Jestenia Southerland have created a picture book to be cherished, filled with the tenderness and warmth of a multigenerational extended family and the food they share." -- publisher
