Description: "A picture book biography of Senator Elizabeth Warren"--
Brief description: Laurie Ann Thompson is the coauthor of the Two Truths and a Lie series and author of several award-winning nonfiction books, including the teen how-to Be a Changemaker and Emmanuel's Dream, a picture book biography about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, which was the recipient of the Schneider Family Book Award and was named an ALA Notable Children's Book and a CCBC Choice, among other accolades. She lives with her family outside Seattle, and you can visit her online at LaurieThompson.com.
Review Quotes: "The narrative concludes prior to the end of Warren's presidential run and, although she did not get the nomination, the ending of the book is still hopeful and empowering. Readers are left with the feeling that improving the lives of others is the real goal and running for president is just one path to incite change. Chapman's lovely watercolor illustrations bring Warren to life throughout the decades. Fans of her beloved golden retriever will be thrilled to spot Bailey in the background. . . . A laudatory biography of a leader in contemporary American politics."--School Library Journal
