Biography used for fourth grade project

My daughter had to read a biography for a project in the fourth grade. We had gone to the library to check out books and had trouble finding one that was atleast 100 pages and also something she could understand. This book was exactly what she needed. She was able to read the book very quickly and write a report all on her own after reading the book. I highly recommend this book!

Great book

This book is very interesting. You learn a lot about Hillary Clinton's accomplishments. I am a 9 year old girl and thought this was a good introduction to learning about one of the Democratic candidates. I reccomend this for any kid who is intrested in politics.
