A young girl undertakes an impossible trip to the moon, makes
friends with the stars, and brings back something priceless in this
gentle and lyrically told picture book about family, history, and
memory. Grana used to tell the best stories, and Mabel used to long
to soar through the heavens. Nowadays, Grana mostly lies in bed and
Mabel stays close to home. But one day, Grana asks, "If we can
touch the moon, then what is impossible?" So Mabel decides to do
just that, embarking on a journey through the stars where The Seven
Sistahs, The Big Dipper, and other constellations help her on her
quest and teach her about African mythology and African American
history. With the support of her new companions, Mabel reaches for
her biggest dream yet: to make her sick grandma well again.
From an award-winning author and illustrator comes this picture
book biography about beloved librarian and storyteller Augusta
Braxton Baker, the first Black coordinator of children’s services
at all branches of the New York Public Library. Before Augusta
Braxton Baker became a storyteller, she was an excellent story
listener. Her grandmother brought stories like Br’er Rabbit and
Arthur and Excalibur to life, teaching young Augusta that when
there’s a will, there’s always a way. When she grew up, Mrs.
Baker began telling her own fantastical stories to children at the
135th Street branch of the New York Public Library in Harlem. But
she noticed that there were hardly any books at the library
featuring Black people in respectful, uplifting ways. Thus began
her journey of championing books, writers, librarians, and teachers
centering Black stories, educating and inspiring future acclaimed
authors like Audre Lorde and James Baldwin along the way. As Mrs.
Baker herself put it: “Children of all ages want to hear stories.
Select well, prepare well and then go forth and just tell.”

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.
