But the next day, when Macy gets to her school library, eager to check out book two, she finds the door locked with a sign explaining that the library will now only be open a few days a week due to budget cuts. Even worse, she finds out her father won't be home to help her figure out what to do, as he will be traveling to a museum in Montgomery, Alabama to read a poem about civil rights. With help from her fellow third graders, support from her mom, and encouragement from poems written and hidden for her by her father, Macy must find her voice and learn the power of advocating for herself and her community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Can Macy learn to be Mighty?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kwame Alexander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316442169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2025 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKwame Alexander \u003c\/b\u003eis an Emmy Award-winning producer, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of over forty books, including the Newbery Medal-winning novel \u003ci\u003eThe Crossover\u003c\/i\u003e; the Caldecott Medal- and Newbery Honor winning picture book \u003ci\u003eThe Undefeated\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Door of No Return\u003c\/i\u003e; and\u003ci\u003e J vs. K\u003c\/i\u003e, which he co-wrote with Jerry Craft.
