About the book:
If Kamala can, so can I! From the newly-announced Young People's Poet Laureate comes a powerful and inspiring picture book that shares how each milestone and moment in Kamala Harris's life represents something that lies within young readers' reach, too—building community, asking for answers, learning from elders, standing up for what's right, pride, friendship, strength, and most of all—knowing that nothing is out of the reach of their future!
My review:
Kamala Harris is a personal hero of mine, so I was truly excited to read this children's book. The book is meant to inspire children to reach for what may seem unreachable and it does do that. For each thing Kamala has overcome on one page, a child is seen on the next page attempting to reach that goal. The book speaks boldly about her and what kids can do.
However, I would have liked to have seen more about Kamala herself. The book dedicates two pages in the back of her overall successes which is great but to have seen them throughout would have been awesome. The illustrations are bold like the person herself.
Still, I give the book 4 stars and encourage maybe an updated version.
