Gr 3-7--Deb Haaland, the first Native American woman to be appointed to the President's Cabinet, is portrayed for young readers with an empowering message of perseverance. The title delves into Haaland's childhood, as a military brat and the grandchild of Native Americans who cherished and passed on their heritage and traditions. The author spends time on Haaland's relationship with her grandparents and their influence on her choices in adulthood. The work uses clear sentence structure to help readers grasp these encouraging ideas; the authors explain difficult concepts without talking down to the audience. Black and white drawings are peppered throughout the book and further references are listed in the back matter. VERDICT This is a worthy addition to an already successful series.--Esther Keller
