Product description

"Obuobi pens an origin story that's at once earthly and impressively cosmic, an ethereal children's debut that centers a Black child's beginnings." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) 

"Lyrical, empowering, and inspiring. An affirmation of the miracle each individual is." -Yamile Saied Méndez, author of Where Are You From? and What Will You Be?

This lyrical picture book is a joyous, poetic, celebration of Black children and a reminder of the Universe's unconditional love in stunning verse and captivating collage. Perfect for fans of Sulwe!

When the Universe decides to create a child, she draws from the earth-rich, dark, and full of everything that gives life, including eyes like black star sapphires and full lips to speak the truth. With help from the Sun and the Moon, they create a child of the Universe: beautiful, powerful, and boundless with the brilliance of Black Gold. 

Laura Obuobi's empowering, whimsical text and London Ladd's lustrous, captivating illustrations will inspire children to love themselves exactly as they are.
