Michelle Obama: Meet the First Lady
Wonder what the cool kids are reading these days? I was sent a copy of Michelle Obama: Meet the First Lady
Katie has been on a serious First Lady/Presidential streak lately. It started with her renewing her interest in our presidential trivia book. That resulted in questions about the assassinations of Kennedy and Lincoln (Amy was pretty interested, too) - and subsequently, a fascination with Jackie Kennedy. Amy already had an interest in Jackie because a friend had previously bought us a First Lady paper dolls book (I am not kidding). The stylish Ms. Kennedy made quite the impression on the girls.
To her credit, Katie knows more about politics than most adults. She knew who the sitting president was even before she had to do a quiz about it for Girl Scouts. This final election cycle, she reviewed the local paper and the Economist for election articles - all part of the work that she did to get her voting badge for Girl Scouts. She also made a “Vote for Katie” commercial, played a campaign game, made an election day poster encouraging people to vote and located 42 people who would agree to say that they would vote on Election Day. It’s all kind of up her alley.
Hmm… Future Congresswoman?
