AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Nancy Pelosi's father was the mayor of Baltimore. He would often invite the people of the community to talk with him at his dining room table. Nancy saw her mother support him, not only by continuing the conversations but by actively working in the background to help. When Nancy was an adult, she continued her mother's legacy by supporting causes and political candidates in her own town. Eventually running for office herself. Nancy Pelosi is currently the most powerful woman in politics.
An inspirational and thoughtful biography. Freeman's illustrations are realistic and powerful. Includes an author's note, a short interview with Pelosi (with a link to the full conversation) and a great bibliography. I love these short biographies, just perfect for an elementary or middle school student getting to know or understand an important person.
