"A worthy message delivered with a generous dose of inclusivity." — Kirkus Reviews "This is a lovely ode to books, libraries, and friendships; one every book-lover will adore, no matter their age." — Book Riot "A beautiful addition to your child’s book collection." — The Root "In this powerful endorsement for reading, back matter includes a list of books exploring multicultural themes to help kids grow and identify their own dreams. Digital illustrations are vibrant and joyful, showing children actively engaged in making friends and learning. Another positive message about the joy of words." — Booklist Online "A book that celebrates the power of stories and libraries to forge a more inclusive society." — School Library Journal Praise for STACEY'S EXTRAORDINARY WORDS: “Abrams shares her love of words in this picture book drawn from a childhood memory. Readers will see the beginnings of a lifelong fascination with words, as well as the passion for fighting for others. A great addition for collections looking for stories about current political figures, as well as story time with a biography emphasis.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “Charming and powerful.” — Booklist “With warmth and candor, politician and voting rights activist Abrams tells a fictionalized story of her first spelling bee, emphasizing the value of education, of focusing on effort over result, and of standing up to bullying. In competition, Abrams reminds readers, victory can take years to arrive—and integrity and courtesy are always more important.” — Publishers Weekly “This engaging, edifying, delightfully nerdy childhood retrospective from one of today’s inspirational leaders speaks volumes.” — Kirkus Reviews
