BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SOME

From her earliest days, with her parents’ activism, Kamala Harris has been involved in working to make people’s lives better. This passion drove her through college and into a career first as a lawyer, and then into politics, where she was the first female vice president and the first female presidential candidate by one of the two major parties. 

Mirchandani gives as a simplified, but well detailed look at Harris’s inspirations, her drive, and her poise. There are at least 3 dozen books in this series now - well-known and little-known names - to enjoy.
