Mary America First Girl President Of The United States

JUST ANNOUNCED: Mary America, First Girl President of the United States, received the 2012 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD by "Creative Child" Magazine in the Kids Books-Fiction category and is the winner of "Learning" Magazine's 2012 TEACHERS' CHOICE AWARD FOR THE FAMILY! Mary America is now the first girl president of the United States. The inauguration has come and gone, the bells are over, and it's time for the new leader of the free world and the commander-in-chief to get to work! Mary's still getting used to a retired teacher being her secretary, the Secret Service following her around, and finding her way around her new home - the White House! Then there's her pesky younger brother, the First Gramps, and her Aunt Doodah and her baby trying way too hard to help. To make things worse, Mary still has school (and homework!), must go to Capitol Hill to see about the budget, and there's a big RED problem to solve! Mary needs help, and fast, so she calls her friends for a sleepover as they work hard, giggle a lot, and let's just say, "pig out" to resolve just one of Mary's many problems as THE FIRST GIRL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

Mary America, the first girl president of the United States, calls her friends to the White House for a sleepover to help her resolve the country's budget problem.

Meet the First Ladies of the United States—sometimes inspiring, sometimes tragic, always fascinating—women who, though often unsung, helped hold the nation together in its infancy and advance it as a world power. More than simply serving as America's "hostesses," many of the nation's First Ladies played vital roles in shaping their husband's presidency and serving as political activists in their own right. From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, their inspiring stories come alive in this handsomely illustrated encyclopedia. Within its pages, the First Ladies are revealed as human beings who, one day, awoke to find the eyes of the world upon them. The book differs from others by showcasing America's First Ladies in their own words, as flesh-and-blood individuals. Readers will discover which First Lady held off Napoleon's army with a toy sword, why women had to be "pale, frail, and ailing," and which First Lady was called "Sunshine" and which was "Hellcat." Each entry includes a biographical essay that details the life of the woman and places her within the political, social, and cultural context of her time. Each also offers a related primary document that helps define the First Lady's legacy as well as a short bibliography for further information. Written in a lively, compelling style, this highly readable volume is perfect for junior high, high school, and college students as well as the general public.

The First Lady is the most visible woman in America-and the most admired. They have many roles and this book tries to touch on many of them through description and photos.
