A New York Times bestseller!

A visit to Washington, DC’s National Portrait Gallery forever alters Parker Curry’s young life when she views First Lady Michelle Obama’s portrait.

When Parker Curry came face-to-face with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen—one with dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl’s imagination. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book.

Parker Looks Up follows Parker, along with her baby sister and her mother, and her best friend Gia and Gia’s mother, as they walk the halls of a museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful ballerinas. Then, Parker walks by Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama…and almost passes it. But she stops...and looks up!

Parker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of herself in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. An everyday moment became an extraordinary one…that continues to resonate its power, inspiration, and indelible impact. Because, as Jessica Curry said, “anything is possible regardless of race, class, or gender.”

Positive Message
Format: Kindle
This is a great book with a positive message about perseverance. I really enjoyed that the author used more than one example of what perseverance looks like and that not everyone will be an absolute expert right away, or even after a year. We all go through struggles in various stages of our lives and this is a good reminder for kids as well as the parent who might be reading to their child to have a positive mind-set. The art is very well done and enhances the story nicely. Well done and I recommend!

Teaching children to keep trying
Format: Kindle
I have read a few of Elizabeth Cole’s books, so I was pretty sure that this would be another great children’s book. I wasn’t disappointed. Advertisements REPORT THIS AD Nick is excited when he gets new roller skates, but he soon realizes that skating isn’t as easy as he thought. He’s about to give up when his dad talks to him about it. He gives Nick several examples of people, including his mom and his friend, who persevered and achieved their goals. It’s important to teach children that failure is part of life and that practice is important. This book does that well! Perseverance Makes me Stronger is told in rhymes and the illustrations are cute and colorful. It helps children to learn that failure is part of life, and we need to practice in order to achieve our goals.

Very realistic, beautiful pictures
Format: Paperback
For Montessori, this book is perfect. My daughter loves the children and the real pictures. She would take the book with her in our walks and point to the book when she saw something.
