After being invited to camp out on the White House front lawn during a special Girl Scouts trip, young Darlene is awed to see the place where First Lady Michelle Obama lives. But when her leader asks her to demonstrate knot-tying skills to the First Lady, Darlene is too nervous to say yes. Fortunately, with the help of her friend, Sam, and some encouraging words from Obama about her own childhood struggles with confidence, Darlene gets up the courage to meet her hero!
This level one book from the I Can Read series uses easy but interesting vocabulary and simple sentences to teach young readers a little bit about Obama's work — and an empowering message about taking chances!
