Quick Summary
Oprah Winfrey grew up so poor she didn't even have a TV, and now she's one of the most famous women on the planet, which makes her story feel like something out of a movie rather than real life. Kids will root for her as they read about her tough childhood, the moment she discovered she could talk to anyone and everyone wanted to listen, and how she turned her big heart into a career that changed television forever. If your kid loves reading about other incredible people who started with nothing like "Who Was Harriet Tubman?" they'll absolutely connect with this story. This book is ideal for early readers in grades 2-3 who are ready for a short but mighty true story about proving everyone wrong and becoming a hero to millions.
