About this listen

An electrifying new picture book—adapted for audio—by #1 New York Times bestselling author and presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman

Who are we? We are a billion voices, bright and brave; we are light, standing together in the fight.

Girls are strong and powerful alone, but even stronger when they work to uplift one another. In this galvanizing original poem by presidential inaugural poet Amanda Gorman, girls and girlhood are celebrated in their many forms, all beautiful, not for how they look but for how they look into the face of fear. Creating a rousing rallying cry, Gorman reminds us how girls have shaped our history while marching boldly into the future.

Critic reviews

"Simple and accessible, the rhythmic visual storytelling presents an optimistic vision of young people working toward a better world." —Kirkus Reviews

"Gorman captures the essence of girlhood in its many forms, showing how every individual adds to a collective striving for justice, peace, and positive change. . . . In word and art, each page celebrates both the uniqueness and the unity of girlhood experiences across cultures, appearances, and personal journeys. An excellent read aloud, this commanding offering speaks to a future marked by strength and endless possibilities." Booklist
