Shirley Chisholm Is a Verb - by Veronica Chambers (Hardcover)

Shirley Chisholm Is a Verb! is an inspiring picture book biography that celebrates the life and contributions of the first Black woman in Congress, who sought the Democratic nomination to be the president of the United States.

This dynamic biography illuminates how Shirley Chisholm was a doer, an active and vocal participant in our nation's democracy, and a force to be reckoned with.

With verbs such as speak, improve, listen, create, and do, in teal capital letters, popping against a white background, the book highlights Shirley Chisholm's tenacity and courage.

The author, Veronica Chambers, is an award-winning author of many books for children and adults, and was inspired by her childhood memories of walking to school and seeing Shirley Chisholm for Congress posters all around her neighborhood.

The illustrator, Rachelle Baker, is a multi-disciplinary artist from Detroit, Michigan, with a background in relief printing, illustration, comic art, video art, and music.

This book will inspire young readers to be active participants in our nation's democracy and leave a lasting legacy that continues to inspire, uplift, and instruct.
