The theme for 2021 is inspired by the book, I believe I Can by Grace Byers, illustrated by Keturah A. Bobo. I Believe I Can is an affirmation for boys and girls of every background and ability to love and believe in themselves. The poetic text and beautiful illustrations are an uplifting tribute to the limitless potential of all boys and girls to dream big and achieve their full potential. Student artists should read the book for inspiration and depict the themes of diversity, inclusion and empowerment.
