“While I may be the first woman in this office, I won’t be the last!" Kamala Harris learned about activism and politics from childhood; her parents took her to protests in a stroller! After her parents divorced, she moved with her mother and sister to Canada, but returned to the US for college and law school. She was the first person of color elected District Attorney of San Francisco in 2002, and then in 2010, she was elected Attorney General of California. She moved into politics with a run for the Senate in 2016 where she earned a reputation for asking hard questions. And in 2020, as Joe Biden's running mate, she became the first woman vice president!

With colorful pictures and kid-friendly, relatable stories from Harris' life, this book tells the story of Harris' rise to a presidential run and reminds young readers that when you’re Kamala Harris, you fight for what’s right!
