This inspiring picture book autobiography tells the remarkable story of Sharice Davids, one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and the first LGBTQ congressperson to represent Kansas. 40,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - HARPERCOLL
This acclaimed picture book autobiography tells the triumphant story of Sharice Davids, one of the first Native American women elected to Congress, and the first LGBTQ congressperson to represent Kansas.
When Sharice Davids was young, she never thought sheâd be in Congress. And she never thought sheâd be one of the first Native American women in Congress. During her campaign, she heard from a lot of doubters. They said she couldnât win because of how she looked, who she loved, and where she came from.
But everyoneâs path looks different and everyoneâs path has obstacles. And this is the remarkable story of Sharice Davidsâ path to Congress.
Beautifully illustrated by Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, an Ojibwe Woodland artist, this powerful autobiographical picture book teaches readers to use their big voice and that everyone deserves to be seenâand heard!
The back matter includes information about the Ho-Chunk written by former Ho-Chunk President Jon Greendeer, an artist note, and an inspiring letter to children from Sharice Davids.
"Rich, vivid illustrations by Ojibwe Woodland artist Pawis-Steckley are delivered in a graphic style that honors Indigenous people. The bold artwork adds impact to the compelling text." (Kirkus starred review)
"The prose is reminiscent of an inspirational speech (âEveryoneâs path looks differentâ), with a message of service that includes fun biographical facts, such as her love of Bruce Lee. Pawis-Steckley (who is Ojibwe Woodland) contributes boldly lined and colored digital illustrations, inflected with Native symbols and bold colors. A hopeful and accessible picture book profile." (Publishers Weekly)
"Affecting picture-book autobiography." (The Horn Book)
