This illustration of Barack Obama is a page from When Michelle Met the Queen, a self-published book from August 2020.  When Michelle Met the Queen is a charming story of how Michelle Obama’s and Queen Elizabeth II’s families linked with one another across time. After the first Queen Elizabeth of England’s death, Britain became involved in the slave trade from Africa to the colonies.  First Lady Michelle Obama’s great, great grandfather was a slave, and it was after many years of struggle and hardship that her family finally saw blacks gain freedom in the U.S.  Shelley's art for this book depicts characters in a bit more realistic style for her.
