#1 New York Times bestseller! The debut picture book from iconic voting rights advocate and bestselling author Stacey Abrams is an inspiring tale of determination, based on her own childhood.

Stacey is a little girl who loves words more than anything. She loves reading them, sounding them out, and finding comfort in them when things are hard.

But when her teacher chooses her to compete in the local spelling bee, she isn’t as excited as she thought she’d be. What if she messes up Or worse, if she can’t bring herself to speak up, like sometimes happens when facing bullies at school

Stacey will learn that win or lose . . . her words are powerful, and sometimes perseverance is the most important word of all.
