Kamala Harris : rooted in justice / written by Nikki Grimes ; illustrated by Laura Freeman.
"When Kamala Harris was a child, she often accompanied her parents to civil rights marches. So many, in fact, that when her mother asked a frustrated Kamala what it was she wanted, the young girl responded with: "Freedom!" Little Kamala had been listening to the cries for justice around her. As Kamala grew from a small girl in Oakland, to district attorney, to senator, she never forgot these roots. Whether fighting for the use of a soccer field in middle school or for people of her home state in Congress, Kamala Harris used her voice to speak up for justice for all people, especially those who are too often unheard. And it was this commitment to standing up for others that ultimately led her to being elected vice president of the United States. Beautifully told by Printz Honir recipient and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Nikki Grimes, and lushly illustrated by Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor recipient Laura Freeman, this is the story of how Kamala Harris grew from her roots in justice and became the first woman--and first person of color--ever to serve as vice president. It is a beautiful example for young people everywhere that the American dream can belong to all of us if we stand up for justice for one another."-- Dust jacket flap.
