Description

An inspirational picture book autobiography from Oprah Winfrey’s “All-Time Favorite Guest” 

That is the story of a little girl with big dreams.

All the girl ever wanted used to be an education. But in Rhodesia, education for girls used to be nearly unattainable.

So she taught herself to read and write together with her brother’s schoolbooks and to count even as watching cattle graze.

When the girl became a young wife and mother, she wrote her goals on a scrap of paper and buried them in a can—an ancient ritual that reminded her that she couldn’t surrender on her dreams.

She dreamed of going to The united states and earning one degree; then a second, even higher; and a third, the highest. And she hoped to bring education to the entire boys and girls of her village.

Would her dreams ever come true?

Illustrated with Jan Spivey Gilchrist’s graceful watercolors, Dr. Tererai Trent’s true story of perseverance is sure to inspire readers of every age.
