Description: This triumphant picture book celebrates Black joy by reclaiming a charged phrase and showing readers how resistance can be part of their everyday lives. 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.
