    • "Michelle Obama es ejemplo de que, con perseverancia y esfuerzo, no hay límites. Este es un relato honesto y fascinante de su vida dirigido a jóvenes lectores a quienes ella pregunta: "¿Quién eres y qué quieres llegar a ser?". Michelle nació en la zona sur de Chicago. De origen humilde, llegó a estudiar en la Universidad de Princeton y, más adelante, se graduó en derecho en Harvard. La vida le cambió por completo cuando su esposo, Barack Obama, llegó a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos y ella tuvo que aprender a conjugar su faceta de mujer trabajadora, esposa y madre, con la de Primera Dama. Los Obama son la primera familia afroamericana en ocupar la Casa Blanca y sirvieron al país durante dos mandatos. Aquella chica de modestos orígenes no solo llegaría a ser la Primera Dama de los Estados Unidos, sino que sigue siendo una inspiración y ejemplo para personas de todas las edades, pero en especial para los jóvenes que gracias a ella saben que no hay límites para sus sueños"--provided by publisher
