Publisher's summary
The debut picture book from iconic voting rights advocate and number one New York Times best-selling author Stacey Abrams is an inspiring tale of determination, based on her own childhood.
Stacey is a little girl who loves words more than anything. She loves reading them, sounding them out, and finding comfort in them when things are hard.
But when her teacher chooses her to compete in the local spelling bee, she isn’t as excited as she thought she’d be. What if she messes up? Or worse, if she can’t bring herself to speak up, like sometimes happens when facing bullies at school?
Stacey will learn that win or lose...her words are powerful, and sometimes perseverance is the most important word of all.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Story
Fascinated by marine wildlife, a little Black boy dreams of one day swimming in the ocean alongside all the creatures that make it their home. It will take courage to move from the safety of the swimming pool to the vastness of the ocean, but as he begins his journey of discovery, he soon finds there’s nothing he can’t do. He realizes if he cares about the animals in the ocean, he must also care about their home and sets out to preserve the beaches he loves by picking up trash.

Great Story!
I'm not sure how someone reviews this audiobook and gives it less than 5 stars (It's an AUDIObook. No one should expect to see the pictures.)
This book is extraordinary and it has encouraged by 8-year-old to journal her new words. The book does so much for young thinkers who are interested in engaging others and learning everything they can. You have encouraged two little girls and their parents even more than before, Ms. Abrams! Thank you!

Loved it!
A wonderful story on the love of words. Brought me back to my 3rd grade spelling bee that I won. My word ‘business.’
