Raise Your Hand

Instant New York Times Bestseller

11-year-old Alice Paul Tapper--daughter of CNN's Jake Tapper--is challenging girls everywhere to speak up

With help from her Girl Scout troop and her parents, she came up with a patch that other girls could earn if they took a pledge to be more confident in school. Alice even wrote an op-ed about the experience for the New York Times Inspired by that piece, this picture book illustrates her determination, bravery, and unwillingness to accept the status quo.
