This book would be great in the classroom, especially to celebrate Black History Month and to help students dream and teach them that they can achieve their dreams.

“Most doors were closed to her because she was Black and she was a woman. Plus, she was very short!”

The story is wonderful for learning about important leaders that are not highlighted otherwise.

Written by Katheryn Russel-Brown and illustrated by Eric Velasquez, this book is about Shirley Chisholm. It was published in 2020 and highlights the life of Shirley and the many firsts she accomplished. She used her voice to speak up for people who had little to no voice. It talks about her trailblazing career in politics and her as an overall person. I think it is a great read for children learning about pivotal leaders.
