Reviews
“May is a courageous girl, a fighter for what is good and right. She shows that being enthusiastic is infectious and attracts great people. I hope that all readers of this book get inspired to have a big heart like hers and to let everyone see it. This, to me, is what leadership is all about—leading with heart, inspiring others, and making a positive impact on those around you."
- Greg Creed, Former CEO YUM! brands and Taco Bell -
“The title of Trix van der Vleuten's debut children's book seems like a statement: a girl who wants to become president. Why not? May for President is an adventurous and inspiring story where dreams come true. It's a book that encourages children to think big."
- Villa’dArte -
“In the end, I am thrilled with the result, as it has become a book that tackles important topics in a lighthearted tone. Ultimately, I hope all children can take away the following message: dare to dream."
