About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small in a big world or hesitates to speak up in class. It is the perfect tool for a child who needs to see that their individual voice has the power to ripple outward and create meaningful change for others. This biography traces Kamala Harris from her early days as a girl standing up to neighborhood bullies to her historic path as Vice President. Through the central metaphor of raising one hand, the story explores themes of justice, perseverance, and dual cultural identity. It is developmentally ideal for children ages 4 to 8, providing a relatable entry point into civic engagement and self advocacy. Parents will appreciate how it frames leadership not just as a title, but as a lifelong habit of showing up and speaking out for what is fair.
