About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 3-4-Dianne Feinstein, California Senator, is seen through her granddaughter's eyes, with one half of the book covering her professional activities and the other her grandmotherly interactions. The color photographs on every page are clear and bright and provide interesting glimpses of these behind-the-scenes aspects of life on Capitol Hill. However, the first-person voice gets to be a bit much, especially the commentary accompanying a photograph of the granddaughter as an infant during the 1992 Senate race. Photographs abound of grandmother/granddaughter explorations of San Francisco. Eight of nine tips for any readers who want to be senators are realistic, but the first one, "Work on a campaign," might not be practical for this book's audience.-Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
