Michelle is presented as a picture book biography of First Lady Michelle Obama. The book covers information about Mrs. Obama from her birth through the inauguration of President Barack Obama. The book includes colorful illustrations of Michelle Obama throughout important periods in her life. At the end of the book is an author's note with additional details about Mrs. Obama's life.
As a book for young children, this is a good introduction to information about the First Lady. The book solely presents a positive side of Michelle Obama, but for young children researching her or trying to learn about her, it gives good background about her life and history. The color illustrations are detailed and give warmth to the book, which keeps the reader engaged and wanting to read more about the First Lady.
