Once again... I know it's a kids book. This time I was genuinely curious, how were they going to represent one of my biggest role models? I'm not mad at this book. The issues I had with "Who was John F. Kennedy?" I didn't have in this one it touched base on a lot of hard topics. The author mentioned the death of both Arabella and Patrick, the assassination of JFK and Bobby, and lastly the extra marital affairs of her two husbands. For a children's book I couldn't believe it. But I admired it greatly. These tragic events really show that she was more than just this glamorous first lady. She was a real women. A beautiful human being.

A very nice history of Jacqueline Kennedy. I learned a lot about her and would definitely recommend this book to students who need to do a biography report.
