Hi Jane,

most probably you what you want to do is to learn about vectorizing bitmap images.

There's a tutorial inside Inkscape:
Help -> Tutorials -> Tracing

and a long chapter about this in the manual:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Trace.html

and many more tutorials available on the web, for example:
http://goinkscape.com/how-to-vectorize-in-inkscape/
http://goinkscape.com/how-to-trace-a-photo-in-inkscape/

Kind regards,
 Maren
