Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice by Nikki Grimes, illustrated by Laura Freeman.BIOGRAPHY PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum (Simon), 2020. $18. 9781534462670
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Grimes takes us on an overview of Kamala Harris’ life from birth to her run for the Presidency.
The book is quite wordy – making it almost a perfect example of a child-sized biography. Freeman’s illustrations are lush and beautiful – I can’t imagine how many hours they took to create. I bet Grimes and Atheneum are kicking themselves that they couldn’t wait just another month to get this book out with the Biden-Harris victory. Wouldn’t it be cool if they could print a tip-in page to make the story complete?
