From the publisher

An empowering message inspired by a beloved quote from Madeleine L’Engle’s enduring classic A Wrinkle in Time. “Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs. Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.” This picture book encourages girls everywhere to proudly share their ideas and emotions, even if those traits will be met with resistance. Because being brave, sensitive, stubborn, curious, loud, kind, and playful helps them build strength and stay true to themselves. Michelle Jing Chan’s bright artwork welcomes girls of all backgrounds to use these important affirmations.
