She Persisted: Maya Lin cover

Maya Lin is known throughout the world as the creator of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.

Still, she persisted, and her design stands out today as one of the most memorable monuments in the country. In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author Grace Lin, readers learn about the amazing life of Maya Lin--and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Maya Lin's footsteps and make a difference!
