ELIZABETH WARREN Nevertheless, She Persisted

Amy Rubinate narrates this children's biography of Senator Elizabeth Warren with feeling, helping children understand Warren's story and persistence. Sound effects and heartfelt music help set the scenes for young listeners, with honking cars, hammering gavels, and classroom noises bringing the story to life. Rubinate's clear narration highlights the harder times faced by Warren's family, her love of debate and of using her voice to fight for herself and others, and the influence her experiences had on her ideas of leadership in law and politics. Her story is a good one for teaching young listeners about sexism, classism, inequality, and justice. An author's note read by Rubinate at the end of the audiobook goes into more depth on some key moments in Warren's story. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
