She takes young readers on her journey through history to meet some of the world’s most powerful Black women who were each, at one time, a young Black girl. Teaching young children not only about these great women and moments in history but also pride and self-respect, The Twirl of Being a Little Black Girl brings necessary representation to children's bookshelves in a colorful and charming way.

A guide included at the end helps adults delve into further stories, resources, and discussions on these figures of Black history and the joys of being part of that lineage.
