Parker Looks Up: An Extraordinary Moment

Description

When Parker Curry came facetoface with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen—one with dynamic selfassurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl’s imagination. When a nearby museumgoer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book.
