BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS, HS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Former official White House Photographer Amanda Lucidon has compiled an amazing collections of photographs documenting the First Lady's time in the White House and beyond. We see official pictures of Michelle Obama as she welcomes people into her home, plays with dignitaries (and her dogs), hosts Girl Scouts on the lawn, grows a garden and acts as an important role model for girls and women all over the world. 

Lucidon is a talented photographer. She has captured the First Lady's spirit and initiatives perfectly. An uplifting and inspirational collection, I found myself crying - often. She has provided an amazing legacy.
