<br/><br/> The incredible story of a young daughter of immigrants who would grow up to be the first woman, first Black person, and first South Asian American ever elected Vice President of the United States.  Kamala Harris often accompanied her parents to civil rights marches when she was young-- so many, in fact, that when her mother asked a frustrated Kamala what she wanted, the young girl responded with: "Freedom!"  As Kamala grew from a small girl in Oakland to a senator running for president, it was this long-fostered belief in freedom and justice for all people that shaped her into the inspiring figure she is today. From fighting for the use of a soccer field in middle school to fighting for the people of her home state in Congress, Senator Harris used her voice to speak up for what she believed in and for those who were otherwise unheard. This dedication has led her all the way to being elected Vice President of the United States.  Told in Nikki Grimes's stunning verse and featuring gorgeous illustrations by Laura Freeman, this picture book biography brings to life a story that shows all young people that the American dream can belong to all of us if we fight for one another.  -- Provided by publisher.
