“No one could do everything。 But everyone could do something。” Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea is the childhood anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris and her sister working together to transform their apartment’s courtyard into a playground。 It’s about turning a “no” into a “yes” and “maybe” giving hope。 The book is about Vice President Kamala Harris and her lawyer sister Maya Harris written by niece and daughter， lawyer and author Meena Harris for her daughters in memory of her grandmother！ “Hoor “No one could do everything。 But everyone could do something。” Kamala and Maya’s Big Idea is the childhood anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris and her sister working together to transform their apartment’s courtyard into a playground。 It’s about turning a “no” into a “yes” and “maybe” giving hope。 The book is about Vice President Kamala Harris and her lawyer sister Maya Harris written by niece and daughter， lawyer and author Meena Harris for her daughters in memory of her grandmother！ “Hooray for the per-sisters。” A perfect read aloud for Women's History Month！ 。。。more

I liked how the text in this book used classic storytelling elements without adhering to accepted picture book norms。 That may be because the story is based on true events， but you can't escape how well the author words each sentence， each incident to get her theme across。 I really enjoyed the art as well。 The bright colors and sure lines complimented and added to the author's work。 Backmatter I liked how the text in this book used classic storytelling elements without adhering to accepted picture book norms。 That may be because the story is based on true events， but you can't escape how well the author words each sentence， each incident to get her theme across。 I really enjoyed the art as well。 The bright colors and sure lines complimented and added to the author's work。 Backmatter 。。。more

"No one could do everything。 But everyone could do something。" Inspiring message of kids advocating for themselves and making change， well told with classic repetition and escalation。 "No one could do everything。 But everyone could do something。" Inspiring message of kids advocating for themselves and making change， well told with classic repetition and escalation。 。。。more

Cute story with a nice message。 A pretty book， but just not sure why illustrations of the main character's mouth were so unflattering？？ Cute story with a nice message。 A pretty book， but just not sure why illustrations of the main character's mouth were so unflattering？？ 。。。more

Clever little book with a great message。 Illustrations were a bit weird though， especially all of the character's mouths。 Clever little book with a great message。 Illustrations were a bit weird though， especially all of the character's mouths。 。。。more

An empowering story about how an idea can unfold into progress with a bit of determination and team work。

Vice-president Harris's niece created a fictionalized account of a story from her mother and aunt's youth。 We meet young girls who unintentionally become community organizers。 I wonder if this event was the first marble in the Rube Goldberg machine that started Harris's path to the vice-presidency。 Vice-president Harris's niece created a fictionalized account of a story from her mother and aunt's youth。 We meet young girls who unintentionally become community organizers。 I wonder if this event was the first marble in the Rube Goldberg machine that started Harris's path to the vice-presidency。 。。。more

Kamala and Maya want to change an unused courtyard at their apartment complex to a playground for the building's kids。 They ask the landlord and he turns them down， but they don't give up and are determined to get the playground built。A fun story about not giving up， with a topic that kids will relate to。 The author's note in the back is an added bonus to the whole story。 Kamala and Maya want to change an unused courtyard at their apartment complex to a playground for the building's kids。 They ask the landlord and he turns them down， but they don't give up and are determined to get the playground built。A fun story about not giving up， with a topic that kids will relate to。 The author's note in the back is an added bonus to the whole story。 。。。more

Written by Kamala Harris's niece， this story is inspired by the real life efforts of young Kamala and her sister， Maya， to get a playground built in the courtyard of their building。 An inspiring story for all budding activists， it reminds aspiring change-makers that "no one [can] do everything。 But everyone [can] do something。" Written by Kamala Harris's niece， this story is inspired by the real life efforts of young Kamala and her sister， Maya， to get a playground built in the courtyard of their building。 An inspiring story for all budding activists， it reminds aspiring change-makers that "no one [can] do everything。 But everyone [can] do something。" 。。。more

Love！ Not only because it’s inspired by Kamala Harris and her sister， but because it’s a great children’s book about preserving and trying to make your goals and dreams come true。 Also adding the importance and benefits of team work and working with others。

When no turns to maybe and maybe turns to YES！Beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story to show children that grit and determination will allow you to accomplish your goals。 “No one could do everything。 But everyone could do something。”These words couldn’t be more true in our world today。 This book shows that activism can come in many forms。 Even a simple idea of a playground。
