It Takes a Village, Tenth Anniversary Edition
In this book published in 1996, then First Lady Hillary Clinton lays out her vision for helping the nation's children. Intertwined through the legislative advice are anecdotes from her own childhood and life as a mother as well as inspirational stories of children.
Why this is liberal/progressive: Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most influential political liberals of the early 21st century. As First Lady she had the opportunity to pick a signature issue and be heard. Clinton chose children. In this book about how children have been a positive influence on her values, she provides a legislative roadmap to creating a more humane childhood for the kids in the US. While this book is intentionally uncontroversial and bland it does a nice job introducing the liberal argument for expanded healthcare and education for children.
