About the Book

Halima can't decide who to dress up as for her friend's birthday party. Should she be a princess like Elsa, or a sort-of superhero like Pippi Longstocking? "You can't be either," her friends tell her, "because you don't look like them."

Halima decides she doesn't want to go to the party any more. What's the point if she can't be one of her heroes? Until Mama says Halima can be whoever she wants to be, and together they discover some of the strong, brave women who could inspire her. Can Halima regain her confidence and discover her inner superhero princess?

Heartfelt and uplifting, this empowering story from African-diaspora mother Emily Joof encourages confidence, pride and self-expression in young readers, and introduce them to inspiring women of colour from around the world. Åsa Gilland's vibrant and engaging illustrations are full of texture, expression and fun.

Review :

'An empowering picture book that will help little ones to discover their own inner superheroes.'
-- Scottish Book Trust

'An empowering story about being proud of who you are and sharing it with the world... An uplifting book!'
-- Kindling

'There's so much to take from this empowering, positive story and characters readers will love too.'
-- LoveReading4Kids

'A fun and creative book about inclusivity and differences... that shows kids that they can be whoever they want and that their uniqueness is their own superpower.'
-- Adrien Guerra, YA Books Central

'A good lesson in kindness.'
-- Penny Peck, Bay Views

'This book is necessary, empowering and beautifully illustrated.'
-- Sharing The Shelf (Instagram)

'A loud and proud ode to the power of representation. I hope this book's popularity soars as it deserves to!'
-- The HSP Bookshelf (Instagram)

'When I saw the cover of today's book share I expected it to be a cute book about a girl playing dress up. And while that definitely happens in this story there is so much more to it in the best kind of way!'
-- Curls Up With A Good Book (Instagram)

'A champion for representation and an insightful lesson in inclusivity... Gorgeous illustrations alive with texture, pattern and character create a true party for the eyes.'
-- Library Must Haves (Instagram)

'This is such a beautiful and uplifting story and shows the importance of diversity and inclusion.'
-- Bright Wish Books (Instagram)

'A reminder to all children (and grown ups) that we have the freedom to express ourselves in any way we want.'
-- Teach For The Change (Instagram)

'This is such an amazing book that discusses race and gender stereotypes, and allows you to talk to children about how it doesn't matter what you look like, it's how you feel and your actions that define you.'

Praise for Emily Joof's I Will Swim Next Time:

'This adorable, sweet book is all about reassuring little ones that they can take their time with things they feel nervous about.'
-- BookTrust

'Joof's poetic verse glides effortlessly through the story.'
-- The Scotsman

'A wonderfully gentle approach to children trying new things. This is a great book to share with any child that might be about to embark on the unknown.'
-- Scottish Book Trust

'Offers a model for parents looking to quell children’s fears, support their dreams, and allow them room to grow. Given that many swimming pools have historically excluded African American communities and that Black children face an elevated risk of drowning, a narrative that spotlights a Black family reveling in the water is especially welcome. Gentle, inspiring, and important.'
-- Kirkus Reviews

'This is an affirming story about listening to yourself and taking things at your own pace.'
-- Juno

Praise for Åsa Gilland:

‘The book's bright and busy illustrations pulse with life.’
-- Kirkus Reviews on Meena's Mindful Moment

'Åsa Gilland’s stunning illustrations take us through the changing seasons and remind us that, in life, sometimes everything changes.'
-- Teach Early Years on Everything Changes
