Book description
In this tender, beautiful letter to his daughters, President Barack
Obama has written a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking
Americans and the ideals that have shaped his nation. From the
artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to
the patriotism of George Washington, President Obama sees the traits
of these heroes within his own children, and within all children.
Breathtaking, evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Loren
Long at once capture the personalities and achievements of these great
Americans and the innocence and promise of childhood.
This beautiful book celebrates the characteristics that unite all
Americans, from the nation's founders to generations to come. It is
about the potential within each of us to pursue our dreams and forge
our own paths.
Barack Obama is the forty-fourth president of the United States. Born
in Hawaii to a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya, he himself is
now the father of two.
