About this listen
Before Raphael Warnock became a pastor and the first Black senator from Georgia, he was a little boy whose father told him to get up, get dressed, put on his shoes, and get ready! So that’s what he did, along every step of his journey. From his work boots to his marching band shoes to his shiny lace-ups, Senator Reverend Warnock found the right shoes to fit his feet and to carry him toward his dreams.
This inspirational story follows Raphael Warnock’s journey from Savannah, Georgia, to the United States Senate and shows young listeners that they, too, can find the power to be themselves and make a difference when they have the shoes that fit their feet.
Critic Reviews
Praise for Put Your Shoes On & Get Ready!:
A Michigan MISelf in Books awardee!
"Good-humored inspiration from heel to toe." –Kirkus
"In this anecdotal picture book, Georgia’s first Black senator revisits his childhood, offering takeaways that young readers can step into. Grooms’s illustrations have the sweep of murals, portraying characters of varying abilities and skin tones, and communicating Warnock’s purpose-driven efforts." –Publisher's Weekly
"...relatable to children, in a heartening, uplifting look at a young man from a humble beginning who overcomes and withstands adversity to become the first Black senator from Georgia. A great addition to any children’s collection in public and school libraries." –School Library Journal
