There are no picture book biographies of Donald Trump

by Elissa Gershowitz
Mar 01, 2016 | Filed in Features & Opinion

A quick search of the Horn Book Guide/Reviews Database shows three picture book biographies of Hillary Clinton, including two new ones (both published in January 2016). And this one from 2008, revised in August 2015:

Then there's this new YA biography:

UPDATED: And this new middle-grade biography (which I missed in the original post -- thank you Cynthia Levinson!)

UPDATED: And an upcoming easy reader (which I also missed -- thank you Shana Corey!)

For now, there appear to be no Bernie books... but that may well change! Check back next year. UPDATED: But wait! There's this graphic novel by 2x Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Ted Rall, which is not specifically YA but "is totally upper MG/YA-friendly" -- thank you Marjorie Ingall!

Hello, Elissa. If you write again about books about presidential candidates, I hope you'll consider including my middle grade biography, which came out on the same date and with the same publisher as Michelle Markel's picture book. It's called Hillary Rodham Clinton: Do All the Good You Can (Balzer + Bray, 2016). Thank you! Cynthia
