Jennifer E. - 5 years 7 months ago“No one could do everything. But everyone could do something.” Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea is the childhood anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris and her sister working together to transform their apartment’s courtyard into a playground. It’s about turning a “no” into a “yes” and “maybe” giving hope. The book is about Vice President Kamala Harris and her lawyer sister Maya Harris written by niece and daughter, lawyer and author Meena Harris for her daughters in memory of her grandmother! “Hooray for the per-sisters.” A perfect read aloud for Women's History Month!
