Author Kelly Starling Lyons covered the 1995 Million Man March in Washington D.C. as a journalist. She was struck by the sight of a little girl “clutching her Daddy’s hand. Her eyes, big as quarters, glittered like diamonds. She walked like a little princess among kings.” That scene inspired this picture book, told in the voice of a small girl attending the march with her daddy. “Everywhere I looked, fathers and sons, friends and strangers, clasped hands in unity. Their faces filled with pride. Their hearts swelled with hope. I held my head a little higher.” Lyons’ brief, purposeful narrative captures the awe of a young child who is taking in everything she sees and hears and holding it in her heart. (Ages 4–8)
