In 1968, six-year-old budding artist Edina Johnson experiences life in Griertown, North Carolina. Edina hates her name. She wants a name that's unique and different - Little Girl. Edina's first day of school is near, and she is one of the first black students in school busing in Charlotte, North Carolina. Edina dreams of becoming a famous artist like Marcel Duchamp. While practicing her craft as an artist, Edina sees a black limousine drive into the neighborhood. She runs towards the crowd and all the excitement. However, what price does Edina pay to become a famous artist?

Edina Johnson is based on author Edna Stewart's life during the years in the late 1960s as she was one of the first black students in school busing in North Carolina. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a famous artist and fashion designer. Her stories are based on her life during this time and the lessons she learned along the way of acceptance of self and others.
