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."
**FOREWORD BY ARTIST AMY SHERALD**

Timmy's Trouble Tale is the sequel to Tim The Cat which was written
to promote good moral values, ethical behavior, compassion and
acceptance. In Tim The Cat, Tim went from being disliked by the
other cats because he looked different to becoming the hero because
he saved them from being attacked by a mean dog in the community.
In the new book, Tim is still liked by his newly found friends, but
is not considered the hero anymore. Tim decided to cause trouble in
order to gain attention. In his new book, Roland Hansen uses the
experiences he has encountered with the many children he has met
throughout his ministry. So often children act out in order to gain
attention and as a consequence they end up hurt and in big trouble.
He wants these children and others to know about the power and love
of Jesus.
