greatness.
Every spread pairs a styled portrait with words a child can say about themselves out loud.

The first Black player to win a Grand Slam title, opening tennis to everyone who came after her.
The 44th President of the United States, and the first Black person to hold the office.
The NASA mathematician whose calculations put American astronauts into orbit and onto the moon.
