Books in Chelsea Clinton’s DNC Speech
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of newly official Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention last night.
Her speech was relatively quick, but Clinton managed to mention multiple books and give a shout-out to the local library of her childhood. Here are the books:
Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo by Kevin Lewis
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
(NYPL also has this book in Spanish and as sound or video recordings)
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Pride and Prejudice (OK, technically she was referencing the movie, but come on, it’s Jane Austen)
