She saw a \u003ci\u003equeen\u003c\/i\u003e--one with dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl's imagination. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eParker Looks Up\u003c\/i\u003e follows Parker, along with her baby sister and her mother, and her best friend Gia and Gia's mother, as they walk the halls of a museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful ballerinas. Then, Parker walks by Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama...and almost passes it. But she stops...and looks up! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eParker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of \u003ci\u003eherself\u003c\/i\u003e in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama.
