What’s it like to walk the red carpet when you’re a kid? Wallis knows: at age nine, her feature-film debut in Beasts of the Southern Wild earned her a Best Actress nomination, making her the youngest nominee ever. In Wallis’s first children’s book (publishing simultaneously with the launch of a chapter book series), the reason for the lightly fictionalized narrator’s night out is described as “an awards show” but it’s clear that it’s a very big deal. A hip young woman comes to the girl’s house to do her hair, she dons a sparkly blue dress and matching shoes, and a limo takes her to the venue. She stumbles on the red carpet and doesn’t win, but she recovers like a pro and declares it “the time of my life.” Brantley-Newton’s colorful digital cartooning is always fun and festive, and although a fair amount of time is devoted to getting glam for the party, most readers should relate to an ebullient heroine whose family makes her feel loved and grounded—no matter where life takes her. Ages 4–8. Author’s agent: Esther Newberg, ICM. Illustrator’s agent: Lori Nowicki, Painted Words.

A young black actress experiences the joy of dressing up and attending her first red-carpet awards show with her beloved mother. This celebrity-written picture book lacks any real conflict ("I don't win, but Mama and I have ice cream sundaes just the same"), and the brief first-person narration lacks urgency. Brantley-Newton's bright colors and pleasing patterns add sparkle to a forgettable story.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)

Starred review from September 1, 2017
Few brown girls (and even few brown women) have ever been able to tell a story like this. Child star Wallis, best known for her debut acting role as the indomitable Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild and co-starring with Jamie Foxx in the 2014 version of the blockbuster musical Annie, recounts the glamourous night she and her mother spent at the Academy Awards ceremony. The African-American protagonist starts the day by waking up early and "tap, tap, tapping" around the house in her sparkly, new blue shoes, then waking up her siblings to make sure they share in her excitement. After the family enjoys a pancake breakfast, a stylist comes to give Quvenzhane a fabulous hairdo (about which her older brother teases her), and then her mother helps her don a new blue dress. An impressive limousine transports mother and daughter to the Academy Awards, and all goes well until Quvenzhane steps out of the car and falls, face first, onto the red carpet. Thinking of daddy helps her get over the embarrassment and move on to the main event. Expressively illustrated with Brantley-Newton's characteristically upbeat illustrations, the book exudes positivity ("I don't win, but Mama and I have ice cream sundaes just the same") and excitement and tells a unique story. As (at 9) the youngest contender to date for an Academy Award best actress prize, Wallis narrates a story well worth reading and sharing.
