NEW YORK ā Sen. Elizabeth Warren has not forgotten the many young people she befriended during her 2020 presidential run.
The Massachusetts Democrat has a picture book out this fall called āPinkie Promisesā in honor of a favorite campaign ritual. When meeting a girl supporter, Warren would introduce herself by saying, āMy name is Elizabeth, and Iām running for president because thatās what girls do," then seal their bond with a pinky promise.

āThe pinkie promises Iāve made with thousands of girls will stay with me always,ā Warren said in a statement Wednesday. āThose promises are a reminder of our strength, and I hope this book will encourage even the youngest readers to dream big ā because thatās what girls do.ā
Warren's book will be released by the Macmillan imprint Godwin Books, and will feature illustrations by Charlene Chua. The Senator's other works include āA Fighting Chanceā and āPersist,ā which is scheduled for May.
A portion of the authorās proceeds for āPinkie Promisesā will be donated to several Massachusetts chapters of Girls Inc., a nonprofit that encourages girls to ābe strong, smart, and bold, through direct service and advocacy.ā
