The First Lady draws on her experiences as daughter, mother, public servant, and long-time child advocate, as well as on her observations of children and families across the country and around the world. Mrs. Clinton reflects on the needs of children and the possibilities the children themselves suggest for rekindling a better family and community life in today's world.

"Throughout this book, there is the sound of tempered frustration and unshakable determination, a missionary's zeal and a mother's vulnerability. 'It Takes a Village' is an honest book. It is not a book for cynics, but it will be welcomed by those who want to understand just who Hillary Rodham Clinton is and what we can do to help the children in our village."

Phyllis Burke, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 01/28/1996

'"It Takes a Village' is filled with...creative programs, which not only meet the needs of children and their parents but, in the long run, save our communities and our nation lives and money....Somehow our village must have the gumption to elect to power and support those people who share Mrs. Clinton's belief that 'nothing is more important to our shared future than the well-being of our children.'"

Katherine Paterson, New York Times Book Review, 02/11/1996
