Simple, affirming rhyming text takes up 1/4 of each double-page spread; the other 3/4 showcase Collier's evocative artwork, showing a young Black girl going about her day: playing piano, drawing with chalk, saying prayers, and going to sleep. Kids aren't always portrayed as capable, but this book shows that they are - there are so many things they can do.
