" Great book about Obama. It can start the discussion that everybody can be what they want to be with hard work and hope. "

" A beautifully illustrated book about the 44th President of the United States. From the very beginning, he was different from most of his friends. Barack was born in Hawaii to a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya. Although his father left when Barack was two years old, he always knew love from his mother and her parents who he called Gramps and Toot. And now, this man with the strange name, becomes our 44th president. "Can we make this world a better place?" he asked and from everywhere voices echoed back, "Yes! We can!" "

" (B) The is a interesting Biography of Barack Obama. I would use it for k-5th. I think that this book is just right for that age group. It was wonderful illustrations and is informative. This book would be great to integrate social studies with language arts. Since Obama biographies are plentiful, this book could be apart of a compare and contrast activity. "

" About the life of Barack Obama. Well written, little boring and a little far fetched if you ask me. Good illustrations. Too much heroification going on for my taste. Could be a little more truthful and factual. "

" Lovely book to introduce young readers to President Obama. "

" I'd actually give this one 1 1/2 stars. I thought the mother/child dialogue was unnecessary and sad. "

" I've been reading this, nightly, to my five year old son. He likes the book. And, it is inspirational -- to him and to me. Quite the story. "

" I really wanted to like this book more. It really long and feels way too similar to Martin's Big Words by Doreen Rappaport (partially because the illustrator is the same). This would work well for a 2nd or 3rd grader but the story ends prior to the election. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I even teared up at the end with happy tears. "

" This is a good book to teach your kids about our current president. It has a lot of words, though, and some content (like divorce and death) that my kids aren't yet aware of or that I don't want to discuss with them yet. But if you read it selectively, it's very educational. "

" This one made me cry. Oh, tear up. But at work, so it's like I cried. We cannot go backwards. Hope. "

" Robby and I have read this a few times for night-night and I have to say, it's really well-written. Now, do I think he understands ALL the nuanced language? No; he's three. But, it's such a great addition to his collection and I really love sharing the story with him. "
