Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope
Like Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy, President Barack Obama has inspired millions of people around the world with his powerful message of change. Now you can inspire your child with this beautiful portrayal of the life and career of the “skinny man with the funny name” who is our nation’s first African-American president!
Even when President Obama was just a kid, he knew that he wanted to help people to improve their lives. Award-winning author Nikki Grimes and Caldecott-winning illustrator Bryan Collier take us from Obama’s childhood, when everyone he knew called him Barry, all the way to the not so distant past where he challenged us all to work together as one to make America better. (Ages 4-6)

Audrey, I totally agree with you. Ignorance is a way of some people and you ignorant people should not have children because you teach hatred and ignorance in your homes. This is the reason why the world is so messed up now. Get a grip on yourselves because ignorance is bliss.

Dear Connie and other ignorant people

The only thing that needs to be deleted is your ignorant comment. As a Christian you are an embarrassment, God doesn't speak of the hate that you do. I pray for your children to be free from the prejudice that you speak of. May God have mercy on your soul.

I can't believe a Christian bookstore would put this book on it's shelf. Obama is not a Christian. There is nothing inspiring that he has done. Nothing to look up to. He wasn't voted in by the people, it was a scam. He isn't even American unless he proves otherwise. Please remove this book not only from your "Christian" shelf and especially from the children section. Move this to Doubleday if you have to. All he does is blaspheme God! Thank you
Very disappointed

No way - garbage book

Reading the 'glowing' reviews about the hack-President, former leader of the corrupt Acorn Community activist group is repulsive indoctrination of children into specific ideology.
I would never put this load of garbage into the hands of any child.
President Barry Sotero is nothing but a lying, Marxist grifter-scam artist who has more myseterious secrets about his past than any other president ever elected from his non-voting senator record "present", to his multiple name changes, to his refusal to release his academic records...and on and on.
The sooner this clown is gone, the better for the US.

President Barack Obama is a good man, who is being given a bad name by people
who are ignorant. They never took the time to read about his life before he became a United states senator, or what he is about. What he did for the people in Chicago while he was there.Also what he hopes to achieve. he inherited a bad economy from our former president and is fighting years of corrupt thinking, and thinkers. Mr. Obama is trying to fix things,but he has to wade through all the gunk and mess that has been made in the former administration, he is not a magic being to wave a wand and fix things overnight. It took eight years to wreck things, it may take the same or more to fix it back.
President Obama is an ambitious man, he looks ahead to what he hopes to achieve and is not trying to be pessimistic, he knows with time and patience those things can be achieve. Give him a break please.
