Fun and Friendly Animals

Albright enjoys spending time with children, and she always encourages them to learn more about history and current events. She was the first Secretary of State to have a website that tracked her travels and adventures. The bejeweled Mickey is a favorite of children as is the small teddy bear. The sparkly pink pin was purchased not only because it was cute but also to be worn in 2007, the Chinese Year of the Pig.
