N2  - An ambitious girl climbs all the way to the top of a tree, despite naysaying shouts of anger and fear from Miss Nettie, an adult who'd like her to keep her feet on the ground. (Miller Library Staff); The only way to make a bid for a girl's equality is to climb right up to the toppermost bough of the very tallest tree. The dynamic ode to girl power was written by noted African-American actor, poet, and playwright Beah E. Richards. First published in 1951, her poem is given new life in this edition that includes an introduction by LisaGay Hamilton and stunning illustrations by R. Gregory Christie. With its inspirational message, this book will empower children with the realization that "the path of life goes up and up/not down!"
