your child about what it means to be in control of their own body
and respect others', look no further! This humorous and insightful

What if everybody were more thoughtful before they judged someone?
If you see someone in a wheelchair, you might think he or she
couldn't compete in a race. But...you might be wrong. What if you
see a child with no hair? Do you think she is embarrassed all the
time? How about a kid who has a really hard time reading? Do you
think that means he's not smart? You might think so. But...you
might be wrong. With clear prose and lighthearted artwork, this
companion book to the bestseller What If Everybody Did That?
explores the preconceived notions we have about the world and
encourages kids to be more thoughtful.
Nour loves the luminous glow she was born with, but it's only when
it starts to dim that she discovers the true power of her brilliant
light. Nour has a superpower: she glows. Her light shines so
bright, she feels like a star in the night sky. But when kids at
school notice her glow, they're not impressed. If she had a real
superpower, they say, she could fly or turn invisible. So Nour
stops feeling special. And as her light dims, her world darkens . .
. until a nighttime cry from her baby sister shows her how powerful
her glow can be. Ian De Haes's heartfelt story and radiant
illustrations highlight themes of self-confidence, bravery,
empathy, and the imaginative power of a strong female
protagonist-whose name means light in Arabic.
"Reminiscent of Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye." -The New York
Times "One of the best books I have ever read...will live in the
hearts of readers for the rest of their lives." -Colby Sharp,
founder of Nerdy Book Club "An emotional, painful, yet still
hopeful adolescent journey...one that needed telling." -Kirkus
Reviews (starred review) "I really loved this." -Sharon M. Draper,
author of the New York Times bestseller Out of My Mind This deeply
sensitive and "compelling" (BCCB) debut novel tells the story of a
thirteen-year-old who must overcome internalized racism and a
verbally abusive family to finally learn to love herself. There are
ninety-six reasons why thirteen-year-old Genesis dislikes herself.
She knows the exact number because she keeps a list: -Because her
family is always being put out of their house. -Because her dad has
a gambling problem. And maybe a drinking problem too. -Because
Genesis knows this is all her fault. -Because she wasn't born
looking like Mama. -Because she is too black. Genesis is determined
to fix her family, and she's willing to try anything to do
so...even if it means harming herself in the process. But when
Genesis starts to find a thing or two she actually likes about
herself, she discovers that changing her own attitude is the first
step in helping change others.
