Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers: Michelle Obama

Product Information

Schon Michelles Kindheit war geprägt durch ihren eigenen Ehrgeiz - sie hatte von klein auf große Ansprüche an sich selbst. Michelle discussed all things about her family, her love story with Barack, her management being a full time worker, full time mum and with Barack being away a lot, her scepticism towards politics as first, her meeting with the Queen and other important figures as well as anecdotally sharing experiences of resilience, hope, love, happiness and grief.

So my promise to you is to give you my story in all its messy glory—from the time I struggled in front of my kindergarten class, to my first kiss and the insecurities I felt growing up, to the chaos of a campaign trail, to the strange experience of shaking hands with the Queen of England. From her modest beginnings, Michelle soon learnt that education and hard work is the key to a better future.From her early years of marriage, and the struggle to balance being a working woman, a wife, and the mom of two daughters, Michelle Obama details the shift she made to political life and what her family endured as a result of her husband’s fast-moving political career and campaign for the presidency. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U. Most important, this volume for young people is an honest and fascinating account of Michelle Obama’s life led by example. I had a bit of trouble staying interested in the parts before the Obamas started election campaigns, though those first 140 pages or so had some poignant moments. This was a really good book, mostly because before I read it, I just thought of the Obamas as one of the former First Families.

The memoir received widespread critical acclaim upon publication and was later selected as an Oprah’s Book Club pick and won a 2019 NAACP Image Award. Michelle Obama ist nicht nur eine engagierte und ehrgeizige Frau, sie ist auch eine fantastische Mutter, denn beim Lesen hat man gespürt, wie sehr sie ihre Kinder liebt und diese vor der Öffentlichkeit schützen möchte. It came in the form of bad music, or at least amateur music, coming up through the floorboards of my bedroom—­the plink plink plink of students sitting downstairs at my great-­aunt Robbie’s piano, slowly and imperfectly learning their scales. I was just a kid, a girl with Barbies and blocks, with two parents and an older brother who slept each night with his head about three feet from mine. She later worked in the Chicago mayor's office, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Chicago Medical Center.um vor allem Mädchen - schwarze Mädchen - dazu zu bewegen, an sich selbst zu glauben und für das zu kämpfen, was sie erreichen wollen.

But in a special introduction to the book, Obama makes it clear that the new version doesn’t sugarcoat “hard truths. Es un libro que quería leer desde hace mucho y cuando lo compre no me di cuenta que es la versión que está adaptada para lectores más jóvenes 😅 No obstante, la disfrute mucho y me encanto ver todas las fotografías de distintos momentos importantes de la vida de Michelle Obama. Looking from where we stand now as a country I was able to go back in time and learn more about potentially the most influential family in presidential history. It’s important for her to have influences of strong and smart women in her life and Michelle Obama is one of the great ones! Für mich ist Michelle Obama eine sehr inspirierend und am Boden geblieben Persönlichkeit und ich habe es genossen ihre Geschichte lesen zu können.Offers new insights into her upbringing on the south side of Chicago and the highs and lows of life with Barack Obama . had been killed standing on a balcony in Memphis, setting off riots across the country, including in Chicago. So wenig sie selbst von der Politik hält - da nahm sie kein Blatt vor den Mund - es war bewundernswert zu sehen, wie sehr sie dennoch Barack Obama auf seinem Weg zum Präsidenten unterstützte und ihm den Rücken deckte.
