Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers by Michelle Obama

Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers : Hardback : Penguin Random House Children's UK : 9780241531815 : 0241531810 : 02 Mar 2021 : Michelle Robinson started life sharing a bedroom with her older brother Craig, in their familys upstairs apartment in her great-aunts house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. She would go on to become Michelle Obama, the inspirational First Lady of the United States of America. Now adapted for younger readers, with new photographs and a new introduction from Michelle Obama herself, this memoir tells a very personal, and completely inspiring, story of how, through hard work and determination, the girl from the South Side of Chicago built an extraordinary life. A tale of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, this is an incredibly honest account. Itll take you from the early years first kiss, first school, first love to the wonders of the White House, and the moment Mrs Obama shook hands with the Queen of England. A book to read, share, and talk about with the adults in your life, this is a call to action and compassion, and hope for change in uncertain times, and in a scary world. Youll be inspired to help others, and understand that no one is perfect. Just like Michelle Obama, you too are finding out exactly who you want to be (and, actually, so are the adults in your life). Above all, it is a book to make you think: who are you, and what do you want to become?... Mehr
