Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds—including Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris!

Kamala Harris always wanted to help people and solve problems. Even as a young girl, she helped her community create changes that would impact all of their lives for the better. When she grew up, Kamala wanted to continue helping people, so she worked hard and became a lawyer and a senator to do just that. Then she went on to become the first woman to ever be vice president of the United States—and she might even become president too! Through it all, Kamala continues to do her best to help as many people as she can.

In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author Raakhee Mirchandani, readers learn about the amazing life of Kamala Harris—and how she persisted. 

Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Kamala Harris's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into their curriculum.

And don’t miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series, featuring so many more women who persisted, including Sonia Sotomayor, Deb Haaland, Patsy Mink, Rachel Levine, and more!
