Your Crown Shines

Penned by award-winning poet jessica Care moore and illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award–winning illustrator, Dare Coulter (An American Story), this Oprah-approved poem inspired by the historic appointment of United States Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is now available as a perfect book for anyone who reaches for the stars.

Unshook and unbothered, Justice Jackson blazed a trail that would take her all the way to the Supreme Court.

An empowering picture book adaptation of moore’s poem that took the nation by storm, Your Crown Shines is a love letter to the Black women pioneers of the past and to the next little girl who will one day be crowned. This melodic anthem, with luminous illustrations by Dare Coulter, is a celebration of one woman’s story that will inspire generations to come.
