This is the second of two children's books about Kamal Harris that I read. The author is Kamala (pronounced Kom-a-la) Harris's niece. The book tells the inspiring story of these two girls' struggle to get a children's playground up and running on an empty lot at the apartment complex where they lived.
Despite almost universal apathy by the adults, the two girls were resolute (that's good to be, especially if you're a girl and maybe used to being talked down, dismissed, or diminished). The girls made a plan and stuck to it, and they fought and struggled and made it happen - and there was the playground that all the kids could enjoy. An inspiring story that's true! We're going to need that selfless resolution in the White House to overcome the dire depredations and selfishness left as a legacy by the worst president in US history.
