<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Featuring an exclusive interview with Nancy Pelosi herself, this inspiring picture book biography follows her journey from the child of Baltimore's mayor to a 33-year career as a political representative.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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. <br> </b> <p/>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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Pays due homage to its subject.</b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/><b>S</b></i><b>ends a resilient message</b>.--<i>Publishers Weekly <p/></i><b>An accessible introduction</b> with a focus on Pelosi's influences and role as a woman in politics.--<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Elisa Boxer is a Maine-based, Emmy-winning journalist and columnist whose writing has appeared in publications including <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>Inc</i>. and <i>Fast Company</i>.
