Shirley Chisholm is a Verb! By Veronica Chambers and Rachelle Baker - ESSENTIAL

Shirley Chisholm is a Verb! by Veronica Chambers, illustrated by Rachelle Baker. PICTURE BOOK NON FICTION. Dial Books (Penguin), 2020, $19. 9780803730892


BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ESSENTIAL


AUDIENCE APPEAL:  HIGH


A picture book biography celebrating the life and contributions of Shirley Chisholm, the first Black 

woman in Congress, who sought the Democratic nomination to be the president of the United States. 


Easily accessible and informative, this is a great introduction to a lady who accomplished a lot even as she paved the way for other Black men and women to serve in national politics.  You will most likely want to learn more about such a charismatic leader, whose campaign slogan -- Unbought and Unbossed -- is a testament to her character.
