Parker Looks Up: An Extraordinary Moment follows Parker, her baby sister and her mother, and her best friend Gia and Gia’s mother, as they walk the halls of the museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful ballerinas. As Parker walks by the portrait of Michelle Obama, she stops and gazes upon possibility and promise, seeing the hopes and dreams for herself in this powerful piece. An everyday moment became an extraordinary mark in history.

“Parker was in front on the portrait, and I really wanted her to turn around so I could get a picture with her, and she genuinely, honestly would not turn around,” said her mother, Jessica Curry, in an interview with CNN. “She was uncooperative with me because she was just so focused on the portrait and studying it, and she was just so fascinated.”

The artist, Amy Sherald, posted the then two-year-old’s moment on her own Instagram account stating, “Feeling all the feels. When I look at this picture I think back to my first field trip in elementary school to a museum. I had only seen paintings in encyclopedias up to that point in my life.”
