We bought this book to learn more about the woman who may become our next Vice President in the United States. Nikki Grimes brings her standard beautiful poetry prose to each page creating stunning images with words, for example, "...and a waterfall of laughter sputtered from her mother's mouth." "Kamala's family line was a strong black-and-brown braid coiling from India...to Jamaica...to Berkeley, California..." "...her family squeezed into a different shape. Her parents divorced." "Kamala Harris is still writing her American story." The book begins with her parents ancestry, travels through Kamala's youth, then to college, then her jobs up to Senator, and then touches on her run for POTUS in 2020. The content is not in depth, but provides an excellent overview of her life for children (and adults) in a strong introduction to Kamala. The book does not address her record or any policy positions so remains neutral on anything of substance for her career, but clearly demonstrates her many accomplishments as well as some setbacks. For most readers this book will be a satisfying study of Senator Harris and her life thus far. The only flaw in the book is the last page. The story is intertwined with a little girl named Eve who comes home from school and says a boy in her class says girls can't be president, hence her mom tells her the story of Kamala running for President to disprove the boy. On the last page of the book the little girl tells her mom that tomorrow she will tell the boy that he is wrong and that he is a doofus. The mom says she has raised her daughter better than to name call, so the child says, "Okay I won't tell him," and the narrative and illustration add, "said Eve, her fingers crossed behind her back." I was extremely disappointed in the author's choice to include a narrative of name calling and lying. This is a book about a woman being independent, strong, brave, fighting for justice, being a leader for girls everywhere and especially Black and brown girls. Why does the story end on a note of a child lying? This ending shifts the narrative of this story from one of joy at the accomplishments of Kamala to a tale of kids being unkind and dishonest. Why? I will read this again with my kids, but will likely omit the last page entirely. It takes away so much from the story and adds absolutely nothing so I think it is appropriate to "censor" this page in future readings.
