Amy June Bates.
This "updated for 2016" picture-book biography shows Clinton repeatedly surmounting obstacles to reach her goals.

Browns and reds dominate the loose-outlined watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations; a few show Clinton looking spacy when she's meant to appear deep in thought. Bib.
