In this uplifting picture book, a young Black girl’s identities converge at the Women’s March, helping her find power in her voice and her community.

Mama and I are on our way to the Women’s March. I wish we were going somewhere else. Some place fun.

Overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the protest, Hope is unsure of how she fits into this movement and how she can make her voice heard—after all, she didn’t seem to have any power when her teacher discriminated against her in class. But when she and Mama join a group of Black women protesters, Hope sees herself in them and discovers that one voice, no matter how small, can make powerful change.

With propulsive writing and vibrant, accessible artwork, The March for Hope is an electrifying call to action and a heartfelt reminder of our own inherent strength.
