Who Did It First? is a boldly illustrated middle-grade compendium featuring the women and men who revolutionized politics, policy, commerce, and activism and the "firsts" that made them extraordinary leaders.
You likely know that Barack Obama was the first African American president of the United States. And you maybe you know that Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. You might not know that George Shima was the first Japanese American millionaire. Or that Schuyler Bailar is the first openly transgender NCAA Division 1 swimmer.

Filled with compelling profiles highlighting what each subject accomplished first alongside vibrant illustrations, this gorgeous book has something for every young reader to cherish.
