Book Reviews of Barack Obama: An American Story
Book Review: outstanding Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book because i wanted to learn a bit about Obana, since he was running for president.
When it came i was amazed that it was written at a level
children could understand.
I was so impressed with the book that i ordered one for each of my Great Grandchildren. My Grandchildren have enjoyed it as well. It is easy reading and gives anyone a good sense of his life.
I believe it showes children ( or adults) that no matter where you come from, or how poor you are if you really want to do something ,and work at it , you will succeed.

Now "the skinny kid" continues his political journey and strives to become the nation's first black president. From Hawaii to Chicago to Washington, D.C., Senator Obama's life has been interesting and inspiring.General Books
