description: A quiet girl makes a powerful impression through her artwork in this lyrical story of introversion and peaceful protest--a stirring picture book from Newbery Honor winner Marilyn Nelson and fine artist Philemona Williamson.Lubaya is a quiet girl who doesn't raise her hand in class and who prefers daydreaming to soccer games. She spends most of her time drawing often behind the sofa while her family watches TV. That's where she is creating happy pictures on the backs of her parents' old protest posters when upsetting news shouts into the living room. The next day her family takes part in a march and there on one side of the posters being held high are Lubaya's drawings of kids holding hands and of the sun shining over the globe--rousing visual statements of how the world could be. Lubaya's roar may not be loud but a quiet roar can make history.
