| Publisher Description: From Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis comes a story about glitz, glamour, and the most important thing of all--family. A very talented little girl has a very special night ahead of her. A night where she'll get to wear a new dress in the most beautiful shade of blue with shoes that match it perfectly. A night where she'll get to ride in the biggest car she's ever seen! A night that will, of course, include ice cream. But most special of all, it will be a night out with her mama. |
