Jennifer's Reviews > Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice

“Life is a story you write day by day.” Thus begins Nikki Grimes’ gorgeously illustrated, poetic picture book Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice. “Fill My Cup, Lord” was Kamala’s favorite hymn. The church was where she learned the Bible, that God asks us to speak up for those who can’t, to defend the rights of the poor and the needy.” Lawyer, prosecutor, Senator Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice is the story of how the little girl named ‘lotus flower’ responded to God’s call, extended her cup, and “turned herself into a person others could call on for help.”
