Queen of the Scene
-- Queen Latifah
Meet the queen of the scene. In this first picture book from the First Lady of Hip-Hop, this little ruler of the playground has got some serious game! There’s nothing she won’t try—B-ball, stickball, jump rope, soccer—and though she might not win every game, she has speed-of-orbit feet, a great attitude, and girl power to the max. But it’s not all about her. Queen of the Scene wants everyone to remember—baby, you’re the best!

Princess Briana
-- Yaba Baker
Princess Briana addresses one of the key issues that face adolescents today, which is how they view themselves. Girls of any ethnic background can relate to this book because it points out the need to love yourself for who you are and not who society portrays beauty to be.
