Becoming

What's important is our story, our whole story, including those moments when we feel a little vulnerable . . . Now adapted for younger readers, with new photographs and a new introduction from Michelle Obama herself. This memoir tells a very personal, and completely inspiring story of how through hard work and determination, the girl from the South Side of Chicago built an extraordinary life. A tale of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, this is an incredibly honest account. It'll take you from the early years - first kiss, first school, first love - to the wonders of the White House, and the moment Mrs Obama shook hands with the Queen of England. A book to read, share, and talk about with the adults in your life, this is a call to action and compassion, and hope for change in uncertain times, and in a scary world. Above all, it is a book to make you think: who are you, and what do you want to become.
