<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"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"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A <i>New York Times </i>bestseller!</b> <p/><b>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.</b> <p/>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 <i>queen</i>--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. <p/><i>Parker Looks Up</i> 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! <p/>Parker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of <i>herself</i> in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. An <i>everyday</i> moment became an <i>extraordinary</i> 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." <p/>**FOREWORD BY ARTIST AMY SHERALD**<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Parker Curry, six years old, is a <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author and dynamic young mind with a love for ballet and reading.
