Reviews
"Young readers will benefit from seeing little Elizabeth growing up in Oklahoma as her parents struggle financially....The book's subtitle - "Nevertheless, She Persisted" - is satisfying....I was delighted to see the words on the cover of this biography, underneath Sarah Green's quirky illustration of Warren, the woman who'd been told essentially to shut up, in a bold blue suit, finger raised to make a point, standing at a lectern." -- The New York Times Book Review
"The first-ever picture book biography about this trailblazing senator is a celebration of persistence, passion, and the power of raising your voice for yourself and others." -- A Mighty Girl
"A biography of the Massachusetts senator by Susan Wood with peppy, absorbing illustrations." -- The New York Times
"In this motivational picture book, Susan Wood eloquently describes all this and Warren's childhood, plagued by problems with money and parental health, and her quest for justice for working-class families to advance economically. Sarah Green's flowy illustrations seem lighthearted and optimistic, the perfect backdrop to a woman who advocates for fighting for yourself and those in need." -- Creators.com
