I adore this picture book.
Not only is the message behind this book both important and powerful, but the illustrations are stunning and add so much to the message of the book.

Maya has so many emotions burning so brightly inside her, but when it comes to navigating the anger, sadness, and confusion within herself she struggles. Thanks to her librarian, she gets help and insight from all the women who came before her on using the feelings and dreams inside her to better herself. Maya uses her new-found knowledge to help her friends and neighbors navigate the light inside themselves.
