Barack Obama: An American Story

This is a good children's biography of Barack Obama. Most facts seem to be taken from his autobiographies. It contains good information and is great for kids.

This is a very good book for anyone(including adults) who want the facts about Barack Obamas life. Easy read, nice pictures.

This is really great biography for school-aged children. I've read it with my 7 year old son a couple of times now, and now when he hears or sees Barack Obama on tv, he feels like he knows a bit about him as a person. It's a short book, but is easy to read, and the pictures and illustrations make it very engaging.

I originally bought this little book for my granddaughter, a kindergartener who idolizes Barack Obama, and one copy for myself. When the book arrived, I quickly read it because I always do the grandmother-preview of all the books I buy for the grandkids. Lo and behold - I found a primer for adults who may just be getting to know Obama and who want to know the basics about who he is, where he's from, and how those circumstances molded him into the Presidential candidate he is today. This (along with the H. Clinton counterpart) should be required reading for all voting Americans. I shared it with several others (adults) and all of them wanted to purchase copies.

This is a great introductory book to Barack Obama written for children. My daughter loves it and it gives a great overview of his life to date. It's short and to the point.
