Nikki Grimes’s lyrical text and Bryan Collier's distinctive collages tell the inspirational story of

President Barack Obama. Raised in Jakarta and Hawaii, Obama’s election as President represented a watershed moment in our nation's history.

Like JFK and Martin Luther King, Obama is a link in the long chain of people who have fought so that this country fulfills the promises upon which it was founded. Just as the baton has been passed to Obama from previous leaders, Obama is a role model for the young people who will one day assume the mantle of leadership, and this book will celebrate and inspire them.

The moving story of our 44th president now comes to life in this book and CD edition. Read along with the enclosed paperback book and compact disc containing an audio retelling by author Nikki Grimes.
