Deb Haaland (She Persisted)
Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller SHE PERSISTED by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds -- including Deb Haaland!
As a child of two military parents, Deb Haaland moved around a lot when she was young before finally settling in Albuquerque to be near family. But she persisted, studying hard and eventually earning a law degree. An enrolled member of the Pueblo Laguna nation, Deb was one of the first two Native American women to be elected to Congress, where she represented New Mexico's 1st District.
In 2021, when the Senate confirmed her as President Biden's secretary of the interior, she became the first Native American in history to become a cabinet secretary. She continues to break barriers and inspire future generations to dream of greater opportunities.
In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author Laurel Goodluck, readers learn about the amazing life of Deb Haaland -- and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Deb Haaland's footsteps and make a difference!
