Set in the world of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever from Marvel Studios, The Courage to Dream is an inspiring picture book about a young Wakandan finding her destiny, from two New York Times best- selling creators. The Courage to Dream tells the story of Assata, a young Wakandan who hopes to become one of the Dora Milaje, the warriors who protect Wakanda. But because of Assata's disability, she lets go of her dream. Assata's light shows through all the same, introducing her to surprising friends: the princess Shuri, the warrior Okoye, and the powerful M'Baku. But only Assata can give herself what she's missing: the courage to dream. New York Times best-selling author Frederick Joseph ( The Black Friend) and New York Times best-selling illustrator Nikkolas Smith ( The 1619 Project: Born on the Water) bring Wakanda to life in this inspiring picture book about discovering who you can truly be.

      Grades 1-3 Assata is a young citizen of Wakanda with aspirations of joining the Dora Milaje, the warriors led by Okoye to protect Wakanda. However, when a disease leaves Assata with a permanent disability, she closes the door on her dream and goes to university instead. Despite excelling at her studies, she feels like something in her life is missing. After a serendipitous encounter with a Jabari warrior, Assata feels inspired to stop seeing her wheelchair as an obstacle and pursue becoming a Dora. Children will love the moral of this story and the agency of the main character, who asserts, "Being disabled means I may have to take paths that are different, but it doesn't mean I shouldn't still follow my dreams." With denser text than the average picture book, this story is well suited to confident readers or youngsters with longer attention spans. The distinctive, energetic illustrations use loose brushwork and mural-style images to bring this Wakandan story to life and incorporate a welcome range of diversity. An empowering and inspiring tale for all young dreamers.
