Well written!

This book was purchased to add to my book shelf for my third grade students. I've had a lot of interest from my students about Barack Obama. This book is very well written and easily understood by third graders although the readability level is probably at the fifth grade level. I'd consider this a book that would be suitable for my above average readers.

Great understanding and information about our new president

I loved reading this book with my nine year old son. It is wonderfully thorough in describing President Obama's life from childhood to his inauguration. I was moved by his story and inspired by the possibilities...

Makes me feel like I know him.

Wonderful moving account of the life of our next President. Even though it is meant for young adults, I bought a copy for my first grade grandson. He loves it!
