Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña.

The future leader of my country likely can't read beyond this grade level and this has pictures. I think de la Peñas' book offers reading level appropriate insights that could stretch the future/former leader's mind a bit about society and people.

I love running my mouth while wearing red lipstick. I like to listen to rap girlies, watch television, and play NBA2k at the same time. I drink fancy cocktails, beer, and wine. I cook elaborate meals and also buy groceries and then go out to eat. I'm a mom. I'm usually tired, but I made it.

I'm a nerd/baddie with a head full of useless facts and a mean shoe game. I'm very good at looking good at trivia night.

I'm going to try to #addtoblacksky.
