Review:

If you are not sure who Stacey Abrams is this handy little guide filled with fun facts about her amazing journey is right here! 

When Stacey Abrams moved with her family from Mississippi to Georgia, she started at new school. She was able to visit the governor’s house because she was a student who had excellent grades. She was stopped by a guard but was allowed in. She thought it was because of the color of her skin and felt she was being treated differently. When she went to college, she decided then to use her education to fight for fair treatment. 

Stacey Abrams found her voice and achieved a lot of firsts. She was the first lawyer in her family. She was the first Black woman nominated for governor by a major political party. She was the first Black woman to give the State of the Union response and the NAACP gave her its first Social Justice Impact Award. This guide has plenty of cool facts about Stacey Abrams and her journey for fair treatment. 

Parents and teachers will love the National Geographic Kids Super Reader series. This easy-to-read guide for any level has photos, fun facts, a quiz, and glossary. The back page has a guide that assists teachers and parents with the varied coded level of reading number on the back.
