COPY ISBN
Gr 2-6–Over 100 facts about presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s life. Beginning in childhood and continuing through the 2024 election, facts about Harris’s childhood and career are interspersed with information about other presidents. For example, when noting that Harris failed to pass the bar the first time, other presidents who failed the bar exam are discussed. Information about the functions of government is provided when it intersects with her life. This title covers information as recent as singer Charli XCX’s endorsement of Harris, but obviously does not cover November 2024’s election results, as it was published prior. For elementary schools who value having a biography of Harris, this is a solid title. Other titles released later may have valuable election information that would be worth the wait.
VERDICT A simple but timely biography.
