A Sarah Palin Book for Kids

Little pit bull pups can practice putting on their lipstick this September, when a new biography of Sarah Palin aimed at 9- to 12-year-olds will be released. Christian book publisher Zondervan will release Speaking Up: The Sarah Palin Story as part of a series featuring big names in the news and role models who work for a better world based on their Christian faith. (A Tim Tebow bio is in the works, too.) The biography is unauthorized and will be based on previously published material; Zondervan did not speak to the former vice presidential nominee or anyone in her inner circle. The story will start with Palin’s Alaskan childhood and show that "with guts, character, determination and unwavering faith in God, even an ordinary person can change the world." Bristol Palin’s teen pregnancy will not get a mention.
