Description
Shirley Chisholm Is a Verb! brings the story of trailblazing politician Shirley Chisholm to life with the energy of a rallying cry—bold, accessible, and built for readers who want to see what it means to act. Through vivid, kid-friendly storytelling, it traces her journey from early life to becoming the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, highlighting the choices, courage, and persistence that turned ambition into impact. The book celebrates themes of representation, civic engagement, and the power of language and leadership—showing that “to be” is not enough, because change requires verbs: to challenge, to lead, to insist, and to dream. With Veronica Chambers’s engaging narrative voice and a focus on empowerment, this is an inspiring introduction to history that encourages readers to recognize themselves as capable of shaping the future.
