Description
When Yousif Tlaib asks about his mom?s new job in Congress, his older brother, Adam, fills him in - with some help from Rashida Tlaib herself. As he tells his mom?s story, Adam reveals information about how elections and our government work, what it means to break barriers, what motivates their mama to work for justice for all, and how love and family have guided them through this historic time in our country...From growing up in Detroit - the eldest of fourteen siblings and the first in her immigrant family to graduate from high school - through her journey into community activism and then local politics, to eventually becoming one of the first Muslim congresswomen and an influential national figure, Rashida Tlaib?s inspiring story shows kids that they, too, can do great things and make a difference.
