Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎈🎊🎁
I’m speechless. Truly, I don’t know how I can describe the things I felt while reading this book. Michelle Obama inspires me. She’s been one of those people that I consider an outstanding role model. Sharing her experience as growing up on the South Side of Chicago as an African American woman who strived to achieve in all aspects of life and ultimately ended up becoming one of the most influential people of our time is absolutely breathtaking. I cried while reading certain parts of this book. I...
I loved this book so much! This book told the story of how Michelle Obama grew up, and how she learned to deal with uncertainty and disorganization. Like she said in the “Note to Readers”, she was honest and didn’t leave out anything to sugarcoat any hard truths. It was really cool to see and understand how such an amazing woman grew up, and how she grew. It was a fascinating book to read. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good autobiography to read!
It is amazing to participate in the narrative of the first Afro-American lady of the U.S., a wife, a mother and a lawyer. It not only gives a different picture of the American society but also locates her contribution towards the health policies just before pandemic.
If some of you here know Becoming by Michelle Obama has been my favorite reads of all time as well as my favorite memoir.The book not only has the power for you to think and endure yourself into her writing, but also it made me fall in love with non-fiction works all over again.This brand new adaption for Young Readers of Becoming consists of the same rhythm, enthusiasm, and inspirations words from Michelle Obama herself as did her original book.Additional, to savour and keep the Young Readers e...
Library copyI was pleasantly surprised by this book. Obama is very close to my age, so I figured that there would be a lot of commonalities in our backgrounds. This read fairly quickly, and was more interesting than I thought it would be. The details about her family life, especially her father's struggles, were interesting. There was just enough of race and the challenges she faced to highlight them but not overshadow her story of "little moments". Glad I bought it for my school library. A bit
Whilst I don’t read non-fiction a lot, I really enjoyed this amazing memoir following Michelle Obama from her childhood, through her various jobs to how she become the First Lady of the United States. I really enjoyed how although her role as FLOTUS was heavily shaped by Barack, she she still focused on the things she achieved and was proud of, as opposed to just writing a biography about Barack and his successes. Michelle discussed all things about her family, her love story with Barack, her ma...
I read Becoming earlier this year by myself, and I picked up this copy (adapted for young readers) a few months back. I’ve read the whole book out-loud to my daughter every evening before bed for over a month now and we soaked up every word. It was so beautiful reading this book to her and we’ve had many discussions about many things. Mrs. Obama has a powerful voice and I feel so fortunate to have read this to my pre-teen. It’s important for her to have influences of strong and smart women in he...
I could feel the excitement for a young readers edition of Michelle Obama’s memoir from my nieces. I look forward to talking to them about it. I enjoyed the voice, the simplicity and clarity of the storytelling. Sometimes, ordinary people can be extraordinary and share their perseverance and challenges in a genuine way. I find it nice to just admire someone. I look forward to what the next generation thinks.
My favourite quote from Becoming by Michelle Obama: the whole book. No seriously the whole book deserves to be a quote. Michelle Obama's story is just so inspirational I can't even. I mean, she fought for Black rights as well as women's rights and helped America so much. It's strange to believe even she started off with a normal life. Michelle Obama for president! Well, she did write that she wasn't a fan of politics in her book so maybe not but she is truly the dream president.
SPOILERS AHEAD, BEWARE! I love this book! Michelle is a great person and this book gave me such a good perspective of her life, struggles, and her life in the White House. She cares so much about others and it was fascinating to look into her life and past career as a layer that did not make her happy. Her tough pregnancies and her growing and long love for Barack was so amazing to lear about. Awesome book!
Loved it! Michelle is a gifted and passionate writer. You could feel her many emotions during her entire life and especially in the public eye.
I really enjoyed this memoir by Ms. Obama and I gave it the full five stars because it really gave me insight to her as a person and it expanded my mind on to what her personal life is and was like outside of being the first African American First Lady! I've heard a lot about Mr. Obama throughout my 15 years of life but I haven't really heard about his wife, so I'm glad that Ms. Obama had the opportunity to share her life to the world and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to hear about it- FIV...
Review>>I never read Becoming before so I don’t really know how different it is between both of the books. However, this version is very pleasant to read. It's like a friend telling her own story to you. I enjoyed learning more about her early life, growing up with a supportive family, entering university, embracing marriage life and becoming the first woman when her husband, Barack Obama became President in the United States.Growing up in Chicago with a supportive and loving family, Michelle sh...
