MR 2:5 Sarah Nearman Herbert on her children's book "George McGovern: South Dakota's Legendary Legislator"

Sarah is a retired educator in Sioux Falls, SD who, in her retirement, has now written a lovely book about George McGovern. She holds undergraduate and master's degrees from University of South Dakota in Vermillion SD. She was motivated to write this book about McGovern after he died in 2012. She realized that nothing for children had yet be written even with the great impact he had on South Dakota and the US. Sarah felt that elementary children should know more about McGovern's leadership in the House and Senate and Democratic candidacy for president in 1972. His work as the United Nations Ambassador to the World Food Program and school lunch program continues to influence millions of people worldwide.
