Shirley Chisholm was a natural-born fighter. She didn't like to be bossed and she wanted things to be fair.

Brooklyn-born Shirley Chisholm was smart and ambitious. She poured her energy into whatever she did--from teaching young children to becoming Brooklyn's first Black assemblywoman. Not afraid to blaze a trail, she became the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman to seriously run for US president. With a vision of liberty and justice for all, she worked for equal rights, for the environment, for children, and for health care. Even now, her legacy lives on and inspires others to continue her work . . . which is not done yet.

Stirring free verse by Tameka Fryer Brown and evocative illustrations by Nina Crews provide an inspirational look at changemaker Shirley Chisholm.

Praise for this book

"The tone of the book is inspiring, but Brown doesn't shy away from the mistreatment Chisholm encountered . . . Crews' vividly textured illustrations positively sing, enhancing the text and making for a perfect introduction for young readers everywhere. As powerful as the woman it profiles."--starred, Kirkus Reviews

"Celebrates her successes, indomitable spirit, and lasting legacy through an effective combination of free-verse poetry and digital collage illustrations. . . . Crews folds texture, patterns, and wonderful details into her artwork that evoke the time and setting, as well as Chisholm's sparkling character."--Booklist

-- (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)

"The layered, collage-style digital illustrations are show-stoppers . . . Many speak her name but few younger readers know her work; this is recommended for early nonfiction collections."--School Library Journal

-- (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)

"Brown's narrative free verse and Crews's heavily patterned digital vector art contemporize Chisholm's 'Let us move beyond hate' message as just as relevant today."--Publishers Weekly

"This book should be in school's libraries and social studies classes. This a great way to further Mrs Chishom's work. Reviewer Rating: 5" --Children's Literature
