Hands Up!
Breanna J. McDaniel
A young Black girl raises her hands throughout her day: stretching after waking, swinging with her parents, answering in class, and reaching for a book. Her gestures also accompany singing at church, playing basketball, celebrating, and carrying a sign at a march. The story places these ordinary and expressive movements alongside a broader assertion of her right to occupy space in the world. Her family and community are part of the life she moves through.
