Jason ★★★★★

My daughter is only six but she sat completely still while we read about Oprah's potato sack dresses and her tough farm childhood. The story does a wonderful job showing how someone's humble start can turn into something extraordinary, and it sparked a great conversation about perseverance.

Benjamin ★★★★★

My niece and I read this together, and the way it captures her leap from those potato-sack dresses to finding her voice on stage felt so real. It’s the kind of biography that makes you want to cheer for a kid you’ve never met. We’ve already read it twice.

Matthew H. ★★★★★

The story about her dresses made from potato sacks really brought her early life into focus for my kids. It sparked a great conversation about perseverance and dreaming big.
