For fans of Ann Shen's beloved Bad Girls Throughout History, this spiritual successor celebrates the accomplishments of these incredible women alongside Ann's signature artwork. From dancers, actors, and singers to scientists, astronauts, politicians, and activists, these women used their voices and their passions to change the world"--Shen profiles women of color who pushed the boundaries, rewrote the rules, and led the way for the women in the communities to follow in their footsteps. From the big screen to the halls of NASA; from the courts of the US Open to the Supreme Court, these short (one- to three-page) articles will inspire you to embrace your authentic self and live your life in full color. -- adapted from back cover

Sunny days : the children's television revolution that changed America / by Kamp, David,author.; Questlove,author of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Putting down roots in the vase wasteland -- "The potential uses of television" -- The Captain Kangaroo finishing school -- Fred and Joan chart their TV destinies -- Geniuses produce in abundance -- Mister Rogers develops his neighborhood -- Give a damn -- The Street gets real -- "A street where neat stuff happens" -- In search of the urban audience -- Diversity on the Street -- Backlash, controversy, and Roosevelt Franklin -- Network appeasement gestures and knockoffs -- The sunshiny poptimism of Schoolhouse Rock! -- Carole, Paula, and other local heroes -- "Hey, you guyyys!" -- We're gonna teach you to fly high -- "Propaganda at its height" -- Sun shot."In 1970, in soundstage on Manhattan's Upper West Side, a group of men and women of various ages and races met to finish the first season of a children's TV program. They had identified a social problem: poor children were entering kindergarten without the learning skills of their middle-class counterparts. They hoped, too, that they had identified a solution: to use television to better prepare these disadvantaged kids for school. No one knew then, but this children's TV program would go on to start a cultural revolution. It was called Sesame Street. Sesame Street was part of a larger movement that saw media professionals and thought leaders leveraging their influence to help children learn. A year and a half earlier, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood premiered. Fast on its heels came Schoolhouse Rock!, a video series dreamed up by Madison Avenue admen to teach kids times tables, civics, and grammatical rules, and Free to Be... You and Me, the TV star Marlo Thomas's audacious multi-pronged campaign (it was first a record album, and then a book and a television special) to instill the concept of gender equality in young minds. There was more: programs such as The Electric Company, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, ZOOM, and others followed, and captivated young viewers. In Sunny Days, bestselling author David Kamp takes readers behind the scenes to show how these programs made it on air. He draws on hundreds of hours of interviews from the creators and participants of these programs-among them Joan Ganz Cooney, Lloyd Morrisett, Newton Minow, Sonia Manzano, Loretta Long, Bob McGrath, Marlo Thomas, and Rita Moreno-as well as archival research. Kamp explains how these like-minded individuals found their way into television, not as fame- or money-hungry would-be auteurs and stars, but as people who wanted to use TV to help children. This is both a fun and fascinating story, and a masterful work of cultural history. Sunny Days captures a period in children's television where enlightened progressivism prevailed, and shows how this period changed the lives of millions. Nothing had ever happened like this before, Kamp forcefully and eloquently argues, and nothing has ever happened like it since"--
