The #1 New York Times bestselling picture-book biography of
President Barack Obama.
Ever since Barack Obama was young, Hope has lived inside him. From the
beaches of Hawaii to the streets of Chicago, from the jungles of
Indonesia to the plains of Kenya, he has held on to Hope. Even as a boy,
Barack knew he wasn't quite like anybody else, but through his journeys
he found the ability to listen to Hope and become what he was meant to
be: a bridge to bring people together.
This is the moving story of our 44th President, told by Nikki Grimes and
illustrated by Bryan Collier, both winners of the Coretta Scott King
Award. Barack Obama has motivated Americans to believe with him, to
believe that every one of us has the power to change ourselves and
change our world.
