Illustrated by
Amy June Bates.
This serviceable picture book biography shows Clinton repeatedly surmounting obstacles to reach her goals.

Officious 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.
