Welcome to Litsy!

Pure joy and the power of community radiate from this sweet picture book about a young Black girl�s perseverance and confidence in following her double Dutch dreams. Africa�s grandmother was a double Dutch legend, and Africa knows she can become the same. Her brother scoffs when she signs up for a double Dutch competition, though�how can she hope to compete when she�s never done it before? But Africa has all the tools she needs: memories of her grandmother, her bestie Bianca�s dance moves, her friend Omar�s rhythm, and her classmates� Mary Mack timing and cartwheels. If Africa can pull everything together to jump some winning moves, she might just fly, but it�s the birthmark in the shape of her name that tells her she�s always been a winner.
