Mama In Congress: Rashida Tlaib’s Journey To Washington

Description

An inspiring picture book that tells the story of Rashida Tlaib, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, and her family; perfect for readers of books that celebrate trailblazing women and social activists as well as those looking for an introduction to civic engagement and how government works.

From growing up in Detroit—the eldest of fourteen siblings and the first in her immigrant family to graduate from high school—through her journey into community activism and then local politics, to eventually becoming one of the first Muslim congresswomen and an influential national figure, Rashida Tlaib’s inspiring story shows kids that they, too, can do great things and make a difference.
