From Booklist
There is no doubt that Michelle Robinson Obama’s life story is truly inspiring, from her childhood in a supportive working-class home on Chicago’s South Side to her present role as the first African American First Lady. Unlike his illustrations in Jonah Winter’s Barack (2008), some of Ford’s portraits here are overglamorized and sometimes awkward. It is Hopkinson’s well-told story of Obama’s life of hard work and brilliant success that will grab young people. The pages follow the future First Lady from her years as a gifted high-school student who studied on her long bus ride to her time at Princeton and Harvard Law School, her job in community service, and life as a devoted mother to her children. The Obamas’ romance is also covered: Michelle’s first meeting with Barack in a Chicago law firm, their courtship, and their wedding. A long author’s note that fills in more fascinating facts about the First Lady closes this timely title. Grades K-3. --Hazel Rochman
