Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight Read Free Books and Download eBooks
The beautifully illustrated picture book about Hillary Clinton—now revised and updated with brand-new material about her time as Secretary of State.Before Hillary Clinton was in the running to be president, she was a young girl growing up outside Chicago who lost the election for student-body president. She wanted to be an astronaut, to soar as high as the stars above. She kept reaching up and up as she grew. There were people who told her no—most of them simply because she was a girl—but she didn’t listen to them. There were people who didn’t think she could do it. But she believed in herself. And Hillary has been making history ever since. This is the inspiring story of a girl with dreams as big as the open sky.

A lovely picture book for all ages! The pages come alive and reveal a very real, very human aspect of Hillary that she has yet to really show. Some may be taken aback by the way this book casually takes on the idea of sexism. In this day and age, I would hope most little girls would find that notion as foreign as being discriminated against for having a certain hair or eye color. That being said, it does still exist, and the only way to combat it is to raise daughters who believe in themselves and the idea that they can, indeed, be anything, do anything.
I loved the book because my granddaughter was inspired by the fact that a little girl can dream and work to make that dream come true in many ways. That was the point in buying the book and point was taken!
Great book.
This is a great book! My daughter who is in 3rd grade had to do a biography book report, project and presentation.This book is full of information and written in 2 formats: a picture book format for easy reading story and a paragraph format with tons of information! I have posted pictures so you can see what I mean.
As a young girl, Hillary Rodham dreamed of being an astronaut. Although life would ultimately take her down a different path, her dreams served her well later in life. In Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight, author Kathleen Krull and illustrator Amy June Bates share the story of a little girl who followed her dreams and became an inspiration to millions of women of all ages.Beautiful watercolor art and inspiring quotations accompany Krull's writing. We follow Hillary through her early education all the way to law school, from her time as First Lady of Arkansas to the First Lady of the United States, all the way to her historic run for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Hillary faced many obstacles along the way, but her hard work and determination to succeed are an incredible example to young girls with big dreams.This book would be a good choice for classroom or home school use. In addition to the main story, Kathleen Krull has included five pages of more detailed information about the events covered in the book. This supplemental material is very interesting and will deepen an older child's understanding of Hillary Rodham Clinton's life and career.
So well written and engaging for readers of all ages. My students have a waiting list for this bio. An excellent resource for home and classroom.
Our 2nd grade grand daughter read it and used it's contents for a power point presentation to her classmates. We scanned in the pictures as part of this presentation. The book told us such interesting things about Hilliary Clinton's childhood and what has inspired her. The book covered all her accomplishments in and easy to understand manner. I must read for all children!
This book is an outstanding book for kids. This comes from the heart of a teacher who is dedicated to supporting the growing minds of young children. Anyone who decides to blast this book based on politics has completely missed the point of the book existing. As a second grade teacher in a low-income school, I read this book for the first time to my class over 5 years ago. The message is sound and speaks to the hope in every child, that the possibilities of dreaming big and working relentlessly towards them are rewarded. It is well written- a manageable amount of text on each page, and detailed, friendly illustrations. This book was part of my classroom library and curriculum when I taught about the role of a biography in literature. Once I read it aloud, I didn't get it back again until June because it was constantly checked out of my classroom library and in the hands of children where it belonged. It is a well written book and it deserves a home in your classroom and in your children's home library. Keep your politics away from this book.
