A Seat at the Table: The Nancy Pelosi Story by Elisa Boxer, Laura Freeman

5.0

I think it must be a particular challenge to write a picture book biography of a contemporary politician, given the partisanship and division we've seen in our country. Elisa Boxer handles this deftly in A Seat at the Table, connecting Nancy Pelosi's childhood to her political career as an adult. Boxer's focus on the influence of Pelosi's mother, a housewife integral to her husband's political career in Baltimore, helps provide a feminist lens that those wanting to inspire young girls and encourage future leaders will appreciate.
