It's easy to read and informative, so kids will uncover something new and interesting about the journey of this incredible woman! A wonderfully American story and a must-have for any future historians in the family!"" -- Frank Berrios, author of The Story of Joe Biden and The Story of Stan Lee ""As parents and educators contend with how to engage children and students around gender, racial justice, and broader social justice, this inspiring book about our remarkable Vice President, Kamala Devi Harris, could not be more timely and necessary. Dr. Leslie has made this educational and accessible book a vital tool and a cherished story that I believe will inspire children of this generation to follow in Kamala Harris' footsteps."" -- Supriya Lopez Pillai, writer and executive director of the Hidden Leaf Foundation ""This biography is extra special because it is about our first female vice president, Kamala Harris. Readers will learn about her life, from her early childhood with her parents and experiences, in a very engaging way. This book makes it super easy for young children to understand and visualize her life."" -- Mrs. M., homeschool mom"
