Picture book on Kamala Harris coming Aug. 25

That didn’t take long: Just weeks after making history as the running mate for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris will be the subject of a new picture book.

Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing announced that prize-winning author Nikki Grimes has written Kamala Harris: Rooted in Justice, which features illustrations by Laura Freeman. The book comes out Aug. 25.

In June, Simon & Schuster published Joey: The Story of Joe Biden, a picture book written in part by his wife, Jill Biden.

Harris, a California Democrat, is the first Black woman and first Asian American woman named to a major party presidential ticket.

Harris told her own story in The Truths We Hold, which came out last year.
