Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight

As a young girl, Hillary Rodham dreamed of being an astronaut. Although life would ultimately take her down a different path, her dreams served her well later in life. In Hillary Rodham Clinton: Dreams Taking Flight, author Kathleen Krull and illustrator Amy June Bates share the story of a little girl who followed her dreams and became an inspiration to millions of women of all ages.Beautiful watercolor art and inspiring quotations accompany Krull's writing. We follow Hillary through her early education all the way to law school, from her time as First Lady of Arkansas to the First Lady of the United States, all the way to her historic run for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Hillary faced many obstacles along the way, but her hard work and determination to succeed are an incredible example to young girls with big dreams.This book would be a good choice for classroom or home school use. In addition to the main story, Kathleen Krull has included five pages of more detailed information about the events covered in the book. This supplemental material is very interesting and will deepen an older child's understanding of Hillary Rodham Clinton's life and career.

Couldn't bring myself to buy another princess story for a toddler and then I was told of this little gem

I loved the book because my granddaughter was inspired by the fact that a little girl can dream and work to make that dream come true in many ways. That was the point in buying the book and point was taken!

As a mother of two daughters it always delights me to find children's books where women are strong role models.I enjoyed this book and my daughters did as well ...

Great book for young kids, especially girls

It is wonderful to read about such an inspiring person. Reading about Hilary Clinton makes me think that a lot more is possible than we often realize. That is a message that will be clear to young readers of this book. I feel so fortunate that Hilary Clinton is a leader in our Country. We have been able to follow her firm, compassionate diplomacy. She instills a feeling of confidence and pride in America. She has done a stellar job as Secretary of State. I hope young readers will be inspired to follow in Hilary Clinton's footsteps.

Key incidents in her life, starting with her wish to be an astronaut, give inspiration for a new generation. At the end, the book predicts a woman President. For the first time since the election, I teared up. I bought it for my granddaughter in Japan.

My kids were very interested in Hillary Clinton. It focuses on persistence and following your dreams. It also touches on the inequity girls and women face, which in my opinion is good to talk about as it creates awareness.
