A New York Times bestseller! A visit to Washington, DC's National
Portrait Gallery forever alters Parker Curry's young life when she
views First Lady Michelle Obama's portrait. When Parker Curry came
face-to-face with Amy Sherald's transcendent portrait of First Lady
Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn't just
see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen-one with
dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured
this young girl's imagination. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a
photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation.
Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell
the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum
becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book. Parker
Looks Up follows Parker, along with her baby sister and her mother,
and her best friend Gia and Gia's mother, as they walk the halls of
a museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George
Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful
ballerinas. Then, Parker walks by Sherald's portrait of Michelle
Obama...and almost passes it. But she stops...and looks up! Parker
saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of herself in
this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. An everyday moment became
an extraordinary one...that continues to resonate its power,
inspiration, and indelible impact. Because, as Jessica Curry said,
"anything is possible regardless of race, class, or gender."
