"By heeding their wise grandmother's advice, a brother and sister discover the ability to lift themselves up and imagine a better world"-- - Penguin Putnam
Jacqueline Woodson and Rafael López's highly anticipated companion to their #1 New York Times bestseller The Day You Begin illuminates the power in each of us to face challenges with confidence.
On a dreary, stuck-inside kind of day, a brother and sister heed their grandmotherâs advice: âUse those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours. Lift your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe in a thing. Somebody somewhere at some point was just as bored you are now.â And before they know it, their imaginations lift them up and out of their boredom. Then, on a day full of quarrels, itâs time for a trip outside their minds again, and they are able to leave their anger behind. This precious skill, their grandmother tells them, harkens back to the days long before they were born, when their ancestors showed the world the strength and resilience of their beautiful and brilliant minds. Jacqueline Woodsonâs lyrical text and Rafael Lopezâs dazzling art celebrate the extraordinary ability to lift ourselves up and imagine a better world.
