A joyful new picture book about finding the courage to jump into something that intimidates you. When Shay's family gathers for a day at Granny's house, there's one thing she can c ount on: there will be double Dutch. Shay would much prefer if her family would join her in another activity, like rollerblading or hula hooping (the stuff Shay does best!). But there's no convincing her cousins, or her aunties, who can't wait to join the fun! Luckily, Shay's family is supportive, and with just the right balance of encouragement and bravery, Shay might be able to conquer her fears. She may even have what it takes to be a double Dutch Queen! DeAnn Wiley is a self-taught illustrator with a master's degree in counseling psychology born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. She advocates for social justice from the intersection of multiple identities--Black, Woman, Queer, and Disabled-- and she stands in solidarity with other marginalized communities outside of her own. When she's not painting, she's learning, growing, and healing, with each phase of her journey depicted in her art. She is the illustrator of Sarah Rising and the Sunday Adventures series; Homegrown is her author-illustrator debut. deelasheeartistry.com Publisher: Henry Holt & Company Publish Date: May 13, 2025 Pages: 40 Dimensions: 8.5 X 11 X 1.0 inches | 1.0 pounds Language: English Type: Hardcover EAN/UPC: 9781250876386 BISAC Categories: People & Places - United States - African-American, Family - Multigenerational, Sports & Recreation - General, Social Themes - New Experience, Social Themes - Self Esteem and Self Reliance Show more
