Bianca with Sharice Davids on Sharice's Big Voice: A Native Kid Becomes a Congresswoman

In this episode of the Growing Readers Podcast, I talk with Sharice
Davids, one of the first Native American women elected to Congress,
and the first LGBTQ congressperson to represent Kansas. We discuss
her picture book autobiography Sharice's Big Voice: A Native Kid
Becomes a Congresswoman. When Sharice Davids was young, she never
thought she’d be in Congress. And she never thought she’d be one of
the first Native American women in Congress. During her campaign,
she heard from a lot of doubters. They said she couldn’t win
because of how she looked, who she loved, and where she came from.
But here’s the thing: Everyone’s path looks different and
everyone’s path has obstacles. And this is the remarkable story of
Sharice Davids’ path to Congress. Order a copy of Sharice's Big
