Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters by Barack Obama and Loren Long
This New York Times bestseller children's book is a dramatically scripted and illustrated tribute to our nation's inspirational leaders in a variety of areas of expertise. Social activists such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez are represented, as well as great minds and designers such as Albert Einstein and Mia Lin (the winning design for the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D. C.). The illustrations are symbol of each person's strengths and contributions, as well as their own innocent childhoods on facing pages. This is a book that offers inspiration and hope, reminiscent of the author's presidential campaign message of 2008.
