NyAshia (Swahili for Beautiful African Princess of Purpose)
herself is a 7yr old African-American girl who has locs, glasses and a dark
complexion. She enters her dream a bit discouraged and tired of being teased by
other kids. Join NyAshia as she travels through dreamland on a journey to
learning her African Heritage, self-awareness and freedom. NyAshia learns that
there are no limits to what she can do in life after meeting such leaders as
Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. & President Barack
Obama. NyAshia's Freedom Ride is inspiring little girls of color to love and
accept everything about themselves--from the color of their skin, the texture
of their hair to the rich heritage of which they belong. The whimsical,
vibrant, eye-catching illustrations of Eman L. Faulkner bring this story to
life! This book is a gem filled with the belief that all things are possible
and even has a not so hidden lesson on the meaning of a name. Hurry! Hurry! You
don t want to miss this Freedom Ride!
