Book Synopsis Parker Looks Up by : Parker Curry
Download or read book Parker Looks Up written by Parker Curry. This book was released on 2019-10-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! A visit to Washington, DC’s National Portrait Gallery forever alters Parker Curry’s young life when she views First Lady Michelle Obama’s portrait. When Parker Curry came face-to-face with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen—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. Parker Looks Up 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! Parker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of herself in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. An everyday moment became an extraordinary one…that continues to resonate its power, inspiration, and indelible impact. Because, as Jessica Curry said, “anything is possible regardless of race, class, or gender.” **FOREWORD BY ARTIST AMY SHERALD**

Book Synopsis Unthinkable Choice by : Sampson Parker
Download or read book Unthinkable Choice written by Sampson Parker. This book was released on 2014-10-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped in a burning piece of farm equipment, Sampson Parker cut off his arm with a pocket knife in order to save his life. This is the story of Sampson Parker's strong faith and amazing will to survive against impossible odds. With his hand and arm pulled deep into a mechanical corn picker, Sampson struggled against the machine for two hours, trying to free his arm. When his efforts to stop the chain drive which kept forcing his hand and arm deeper into the machine resulted in a fire, Sampson made the only choice available. Exhausted and crying out to God for strength, he had to sever his arm with his pocket knife or burn to death. A Christian before the accident, Unthinkable Choice is more than the story of his life-and-death struggle. It is the story of how God used this tragic incident to change not only Sampson's life, but also the lives of those around him. Unthinkable Choice is the true story of one man's faith in God, his family's love, and his road to physical and spiritual wholeness. It is the story of how his struggle increased his faith and changed the direction of his life.
