Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
K-Gr. 3. An African American girl climbs a tall tree, while at ground level, a worried Miss Nettie frets, postures, admonishes, disdains, and issues orders for her to come back down. But as the poem has it, "The only way to make a bid / for a girl's equality / is to climb right up to the toppermost bough / of the very tallest tree." The poem, which appeared in A Black Woman Speaks (1974) by African American actress and writer Beah Richards, effectively uses vernacular speech to create a distinctive voice, while making a feminist point. Similarly, Christie creates a series of strong gouache paintings that define the characters through posture and gesture. Bold brush strokes create a landscape simplified to its essence, providing a backdrop in which the characters' body language speaks volumes. Though the book is classified as poetry, the brevity of the text and the clarity of the art make this a vivid picture book as well, and one that might be read aloud to older groups for discussion.

From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 3–In this picture-book rendition of Richardss 1951 poem of the same name, girls are urged to keep climbing no matter what obstacles get in the way. Bold gouache illustrations create a beguiling green-and-gold landscape with an irresistible tree and a determined little girl who climbs it higher and higher with every page turn. Stern and frightened Miss Nettie tries coaxing the child out of the tree, using scare tactics of broken necks and taunts of tomboy. But a little girl victorious/cant hide her childish glee,/to see Miss Nettie so put out/that she, a girl, could climb a tree. An introduction by LisaGay Hamilton gives readers more information about the poem and Richards, an African-American actor, playwright, and poet who set her own sights high and faced plenty of challenges along the way. This work helps to encourage and bolster up young girls as they begin to make their way in the world.–Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA

Very personal, very inspiring
30. April 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is one I wish I had when I was a young girl. This book is also very personal. As my father grew up with Mrs. Richards, and she was his dance instructor. So in the portion of the book that is dedicated to all of the children, past, present and future of Vicksburg, MS that would include me and most of my family. Great book. Highly recommended! Thank you Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Hamilton.
Climb right up to the toppermost bough of the very tallest tree
18. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A children's book adaptation of a lovely poem of encouragement and spirit by Beah E. Richards. Accompanied by simple illustrations, distinctive for their broad swaths of subdued, earthly colors. A wonderful read aloud book for storytime or bedtime (or anytime!). An inspirational story for any young girl, especially those surrounded by brothers and a very nice gift book for female graduates of any age (sure to replace "Oh the Places You'll Go!").
