Kamala Raised Her Hand

Book excerpt: A picture book celebration of United States Vice President Kamala Harris—the first female, Black, and South Asian American person to be vice president of the US—from her childhood to her historic run for president. Ever since she was a child defending against classroom bullies, Kamala Harris has been raising her hand. She raised her hand to advocate in her neighborhood, on her college campus, in court, and in Congress. Then in 2021, Kamala Harris raised her hand and became the first woman, first Black American, and first South Asian American vice president in the nation's history. This celebration of standing up for what you believe in is a powerful message to children everywhere that you can find your voice, and find the courage to raise your hand for what you believe in, too!
