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)

I read the comments posted by K and Connie and all I can say is Wow!! Every person has a right to his/her opinion, but whether or not you believe President Obama is an American, one thing is for certain we are all children of God. Remember God is love and we as Christians should all strive to be like Christ.

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
