A lyrical, meditative text on the power of reading and writing and how one child can change the world by the bestselling author of the Questioneers series
One girl. One spark. Faint and fading in the dark. Flicker . . . Flicker . . . Flicker . . . Glow. Tiny ember. Burning low.
Inspired by the global movement to empower girls through education, this lyrical story tells of one small girl who reads a book that lights a spark. She shares what she learns with her class, and the spark grows. The girl is then moved to write her own story, which she shares with girls around the globe, and it ignites a spark in them, lighting up the whole world. This heartwarming and moving narrative shows how books and education can inspire change and how one child can make a huge difference.

Praise for One Girl
Beatty’s rhyming text is charmingly sparse: each word is carefully chosen, and the language glimmers with precision. Much of the story is told by Phumiruk’s gorgeous illustrations. . . The words and pictures work in synchrony, creating a lyrical call to action encouraging children to find their voices and, simultaneously, their inner strength.
Kirkus Reviews
Softly radiant digital and pencil art show just how powerful writing’s spark can be.... This poetic tribute to story focuses on the power of a potential unleashed.
Publishers Weekly
A dreamy tale about female empowerment.
