by Nikki Grimes (Author), Floyd Cooper (Illustrator)

This spirited collection of beautifully illustrated poems introduces young readers to Danitra Brown, the most splendiferous girl in town, and her best friend, Zuri Jackson. "The poignant text and lovely pictures are an excellent collaboration, resulting in a look at touching moments of universal appeal." (School Library Journal)

This story of girl friendship and support resonates today more than ever. Perfect for sharing with early grade individuals and groups, including for units on poetry and empathy, kindness, and friendship.

"In a lively cycle of 13 poems, Zuri Jackson celebrates her vibrant best friend Danitra. Danitra shares work, play and confidences with equal verve, knows how to defuse a mean tease or comfort a friend, and loves to wear purple. The joyous portrayal will appeal to a broad age range." (Kirkus)

New York Times bestselling author Nikki Grimes is the recipient of the 2020 ALAN Award for outstanding contributions to young adult literature, the Children's Literature Legacy Award, the Virginia Hamilton Literary Award, and the NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children. Floyd Cooper's many acclaimed books included The Blacker the Berry, for which he received a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award

Some kids at school have a mom and a dad.

I've got Mom and me only.

On Parents' Night it makes me mad

that it's Mom and me only.

"You've got it good," Danitra says when I am sad.

"Your mama loves you twice as much. Is that so bad?"

Danitra knows just what to say to make me glad.

With her around, I'm never lonely.
