She stretches her hands up high like a plane's wings and whizzes down a hill so fast on her bike with her hands way up. As she grows, she lives through everyday moments of joy, love, and sadness. And when she gets a little older, she joins together with her family and her community in a protest march, where they lift their hands up together in resistance and strength.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreanna J.
