A Girl Like Me
Angela Johnson
A girl imagines herself swimming through the ocean, feeling part of its deep, cool waves. From shore, people call out that someone like her should stay dry rather than enter the water. The book centers on this confrontation between her dream and the limits other people try to impose. It encourages girls to hold on to their individuality and aspirations instead of accepting expectations that restrict what they can do or become.
