Seat at the Table: The Nancy Pelosi Story
Seat at the Table: The Nancy Pelosi Story | Elisa Boxer
1 post | 1 read
This inspiring picture-book biography about Nancy Pelosi shows her journey from the child of Baltimore's mayor to her marble-ceiling-shattering four terms as Speaker of the House, including the historic events of January 6th, 2021. Nancy Pelosi grew up watching her father, the mayor of Baltimore, welcome in people of all different backgrounds to sit at their table and make their voices heard. Nancy's mother always stood beside him, working behind the scenes to help her husband and the people he served. When Nancy grew up, she continued working behind the scenes in politics until a friend asked her to run for Congress herself--jump-starting a 33 year career as a political representative and taking her higher than she could have once imagined. Young girls, especially, will be inspired by Nancy's journey and her commitment to using her voice to help others and to make sure women are heard in government. The backmatter also includes an exclusive interview with Nancy Pelosi herself.

"When women succeed, America succeeds, and they're going to make a tremendous difference"

I love all these new picture books that are like biographies kids can relate to. Until recently children's biographies were academically abtruse. Boring at a reading level that surpassed the local news paper and reserved for research projects that doused the love of learning and reading. And Nancy is badass #mightygirl
