This triumphant picture book recasts a charged phrase as part of a black girl s everyday life hands up for a hug, hands up in class, hands up for a high five before culminating in a moment of resistance at a protest march.A young black girl lifts her baby hands up to greet the sun, reaches her hands up for a book on a high shelf, and raises her hands up in praise at a church service She stretches her hands up high like a plane s wings and whizzes down a hill so fast on her bike with her hands way up As she grows, she lives through everyday moments of joy, love, and sadness And when she gets a little older, she joins together with her family and her community in a protest march, where they lift their hands up together in resistance and strength.
