Winner of:
Best Illustrator Silver (tie)— Nívola Uyá, 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards
A woman drives a tractor through town and, thanks to the tractor’s noisy engine, can’t hear all the things people say about her as she drives by. They comment on her clothes and her hair, but mostly they seem confused as to why a woman is driving a tractor in the first place. A fun, original tale about turning a deaf ear to negativity and prejudice, this story will inspire children to embrace who they are and to believe they can grow up to be anything they want to be.
