At two years old, Parker became an international inspiration when a profound photograph of her awestruck by Michelle Obama’s portrait went viral. That extraordinary moment was the subject of Parker’s first published book, Parker Looks Up, a New York Times bestseller and recipient of multiple literary recognitions.
