From Senator Kamala Harris comes a memoir with an empowering message: Superheroes are all around us - and if we try, we can all be heroes, too. Before Kamala Harris became a district attorney and a United States senator, she was a little girl who loved superheroes. And when she looked around, she was amazed to find them everywhere!
