Ever since she was a child defending against classroom bullies, Kamala Harris has been raising her hand. She raised her hand to advocate in her neighbourhood, on her college campus, in court and in Congress. Then in 2021, Kamala Harris raised her hand and became the first woman, first Black American and first South Asian American vice president in the nation's history.
This celebration of standing up for what you believe in is a powerful message to children everywhere that you can find your voice, and find the courage to raise your hand for what you believe in, too!Publishing just in time for the 2024 US presidential election.Raakhee Mirchandani (Author)
