Little People, BIG DREAMS | Michelle Obama

The girl from the South Side of Chicago who loved school, blazed a trail through Princeton and Harvard, and became first lady.

Young Michelle grew up in a close-knit family and worked hard — the book does not skip over that part, which is rather the point. Then, at the start of her legal career, she met Barack Obama.

As first lady she used her platform to advocate for women and girls, and she has kept going since with her books and her voice. A grounded, encouraging read for children who are starting to think about what they might do.

• Part of the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS biography series
