Have You Heard about Lady Bird?: Poems about Our First Ladies

By Marilyn Singer

Book Overview

Honor and celebrate America's first ladies in this fun and fascinating book of poems, just right for poetry month in April or any time of the year.

The role of First Lady has been defined differently by each woman who's held it, but all of them left an impact on our nation as partner of the commander in chief. Incisive poetry by Marilyn Singer and energetic art by Nancy Carpenter provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women--from Martha Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt to Lady Bird Johnson--who variously embraced the position and shied away from it, craved the spotlight and fiercely guarded their privacy, took controversial stands and championed for the status quo. Includes detailed short biographies, quotations, and more in the back of the book
