A Life of Service: The Story of Senator Tammy Duckworth

Tammy Duckworth joined the Army determined to make a difference — but in the midst of her service, she suffered a devastating injury. She recovered, adapted to her new prosthetics, and set her sights on another way she could serve: politics. She became the first Thai American member of Congress and the first woman with a disability to serve in the House and Senate. And she even pushed to change the Senate chamber rules to allow her to bring her 10-day-old daughter in, so she could be there for a critical vote!

Thai American creators Christina Soontornvat and Dow Phumiruk portray the inspirational and barrier-breaking life of Senator Tammy Duckworth in a picture-book tribute to an extraordinary woman. Evoking Senator Duckworth’s spirited nature with sensitivity and joy, this dramatic account of a life lived in the service of others includes a time line and suggestions for further reading.
