Publisher's Description of She Persisted: Maya Lin
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 Maya Lin!
Maya Lin is known throughout the world as the creator of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. But many people objected to her gender, age, race, and more when she was chosen to design the memorial. Still, she persisted, and her design stands out today as one of the most memorable monuments in the country.
Category Description for She Persisted
Inspire young readers to make a difference! This series of short chapter books shares individual stories of women around the globe who faced overwhelming obstacles and yet… persisted! Although based on the best-selling picture book series by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, these take a more in-depth look into the lives of several women who left a legacy for future generations. Because some books touch on topics that can be difficult for young readers to grasp (slavery, abuse, segregation, etc.), discussion with an adult will be beneficial for processing. Each book has simple, cute illustrations sprinkled throughout and a short back section entitled "How You Can Persist", encouraging readers with a call to action.
