Positive story of an extraordinary little girl named Etta who has a goal (performing in her school's talent show) and the perfect plans to reach that goal.

The colorful illustrations represent a really *cute* Etta, her home, family and diverse neighborhood.

Etta Extraordinaire reminds me of Fancy Nancy.

Another famous Etta, Etta Moten Barnett, whom I had never known about (but I do now after looking her up!) is mentioned in the story. ( )
