Through playful rhyme and dazzling illustrations, Black Girl Magic inspires young readers to face their fears, adversities, and to find their inner strengths by following the guidance of their elders and ancestors. The book uses a dragon and a bully to metaphorically teach them that even through the many obstacles and bullying they may encounter, everything they need to succeed and overcome is already within. The author encourages young readers to be determined, confident, and to stand tall against their adversaries.
