Michelle Obama grew up on Chicago's South Side, and while the world outside her door was chaotic and ever-changing, her family provided a stable environment in which she could grow and flourish. This look at Michelle Obama's life and the turning points that shaped her shows how a girl from a working class background could rise to become one of the most influential women of her day. But this is more than a straight chronological retelling. This book looks at Michelle Obama's life story within the context of the larger movements in African American history: slavery, freedom, the Reconstruction era, the Civil Rights movement, and finally, her own era. History is what has shaped Michelle and challenged her. And ultimately, not only has she overcome any obstacles put before her, she has carved out her own place in history as well. Includes 16 pages of color photos.

I would give this book 5 stars. I highly recommend this book to enhance your understanding of Mrs. Obama and to learn what an outstanding person she is and was during her childhood. I would recommend this book to adults and teenagers.

Instead of covering Michelle, it covers Michelle Obama's background and ancestors, something I really dont care about.
