A picture book for magical yet imperfect children everywhere written by debut author Ashley
Franklin and perfect for fans of such titles as Matthew A. Cherry's Hair Love Grace Byers's I
Am Enough and Lupita Nyong'o's Sulwe. Tameika is a girl who belongs on the stage. She loves to
act sing and dance-and she's pretty good at it too. So when her school announces their Snow
White musical Tameika auditions for the lead princess role. But the other kids think she's not
quite right to play the role. They whisper they snicker and they glare. Will Tameika let
their harsh words be her final curtain call? Not Quite Snow White is a delightful and inspiring
picture book that highlights the importance of self-confidence while taking an earnest look at
what happens when that confidence is shaken or lost. Tameika encourages us all to let our magic
shine.
