In Detroit, 1945, eleven-year-old Betty's house doesn't quite feel
like home. She believes her mother loves her, but she can't shake
the feeling that her mother doesn't want her. Church helps those
worries fade, if only for a little while. Activists like Paul
Robeson stir African Americans in her community to stand up for
their rights. Betty finds purpose in volunteering for the
Housewives League, which supports black-owned businesses. Soon, the
American civil rights icon we now know as Dr. Betty Shabazz is
born. Inspired by Betty's real life - but expanded upon and
fictionalized in collaboration with novelist Renee Watson - Ilyasah
Shabazz illuminates four years in her mother's childhood with this
book, painting an inspiring portrait of a girl grappling with
self-acceptance and belonging that will resonate with young readers
today.
