A celebration of President Obama's ties to Hawaii highlights the
state's cultural traditions and includes photos from Barack Obama's
childhood.
Barack Obama is the first United States President to be born in Hawai'i,
the Aloha State. A President from Hawai'i -- originally distributed
exclusively in that state -- explores the unique history and cultural
traditions of President Obama's birthplace. In addition to the
well-known concept of aloha, it introduces such Hawaiian concepts as
kokua (to help), lokahi (unity), and ohana (family), among others, and
includes quotes from Barack Obama's speeches, books, and interviews that
reflect and embrace these themes.
Back matter includes a glossary.
