for a girl's equality is to climb right up to the
toppermost bough
of the very tallest tree.

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 messsage, this book will empower
children with the realization that "the path of life goes up and
up/not down!"
