"Using brief text, these biographies showcase the childhoods and public lives of first ladies. They manage to admirabley convey the essence of each figure. Large photographs and clear font make each volume accessible yet informative for even the youngest reader. As the chronological narrative progresses, the timeline found at the bottom of each page gradually lengthens. Beginning researchers will find a glossary, a short list of resources, and an index. Recommended." - Library Media Connection

"These large-format depictions balance spare text with full-page illustrations. Each page covers a period in the subject’s life, such as “Growing Up” and “First Lady,” also represented in a running time line at the bottom of the page. A “Read More” section offers more early reader biographies on the subject, and the website section references Facthound.com. The glossaries are of questionable use to the intended age group. For example, in Michelle Obama, “campaign” is defined as “an organized effort to win political office,” which will bring up more questions for young readers than it answers. Still, this series is a good choice for most collections, though it won’t replace comparable holdings." - Series Made Simple; School Library Journal

Sally Lee is the author of numerous nonfiction books for readers from kindergarten through high school. Her interest in children’s literature began at the University of Missouri where she received her degree in education. Her years of teaching gave her desire to help children learn. When she left the classroom to raise her own son and daughter, writing nonfiction became a way to continue educating children. Her favorite part of writing nonfiction is doing research. It reminds her of a treasure hunt, especially when it uncovers off-beat facts that nobody else knows. It also satisfies her own curiosity about the world. Sally and her husband live in Dallas, Texas, with their children and grandchildren nearby.
