Her new book stars a young Black girl who encourages her community to join her in service and song as she journeys throughout her day-a welcome message in the current social climate, to say the least. “It hasn’t even been a year yet and I’m looking back at my life has changed. “I’m very fortunate to have family and friends who keep me grounded and remind me of who I am,” she said, perhaps a reference to her parish which has been featured in the media multiple times since her faith became widely known. This morning, she was featured on the Today Show promoting the book. “I wrote this book because I believe every child has the ability to make a difference,” Gorman said in a promotional video released by the publisher, Penguin Children, that same month. It was originally announced in January, when the Harvard-educated Gorman became a household name after a show-stopping reading of her powerful “ The Hill We Climb” poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden. “ Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem”, a picture book created in collaboration with illustrator Loren Long, is in bookstores today as well as online in ebook and audiobook form. Fresh off of her hosting duties at last week’s Met Gala and the announcement of a new gig as Estée Lauder’s first-ever Global Changemaker, Amanda Gorman is again celebrating a book release-this time for the kids.
