From the publisher: “The 12th grade students at G.W. Carver High School in New Orleans spent months writing, editing and creating this book about New Orleanian heroes. From stories about the bounce icon, Big Freedia, to teachers, artists, and lots of matriarchs, this book reminds us that true heroes exist all around us, and they don’t have to be wearing a cape to be one.”
