RAISE YOUR HAND

Marta Kissi Alice Paul Tapper

11-year-old Alice Paul Tapper - daughter of CNN's Jake Tapper - is challenging girls everywhere to speak up!
When Alice Tapper noticed that the girls in her class weren't participating as much as the boys, she knew she had to do something about it. With help from her Girl Scout troop and her parents, she came up with a patch that other girls could earn if they took a pledge to be more confident in school. Alice even wrote an op-ed about the experience for the New York Times!

Inspired by that piece, this picture book illustrates her determination, bravery, and unwillingness to accept the status quo. With Marta Kissi's delightful illustrations depicting Alice's story, young readers everywhere will want to follow Alice's lead and raise their hand!


Alice Paul Tapper, 11, is a Girl Scout and sixth grader in Washington, D.C., where she lives with her mom and dad, brother, and her two dogs Winston and Clementine. This is her first book. Residence: Washington, DC
Marti Kissi is an illustrator living and working in London. She studied illustration and animation at Kingston University and completed her MA at the Royal College of Art. She now works on various children's book projects as well as covers and editorial pieces for both children and adults.
Alice's father is Jake Tapper, chief Washington correspondent for CNN, who hosts an hourlong weekday afternoon program called The Lead with Jake Tapper. He is also an author, with debut novel The Hellfire Club having released in April of 2018.
