swill…
absolute swill. It’s deeply disturbing that an american publisher would be so blinded by the money to be made, that they’d be willing to put their name to this.

You have got to be kidding!!!
I am absolutely disgusted. Racism and complete media bias is the only reason this type of propaganda is allowed to exits. Child brainwashing has begun.

Barach Obama; Son of Promise, Child of Hope
I purchased this book for my kindergarten class. They really enjoyed listening to the story, talking abnut it, and pick it up to read and look at the pictures independently.

I was so excited to see a picture book version of Obama's life, and knowing the work of Nikki Grimes, I ordered the title without hesitation. What I received was very disappointing. The narration was saccharine, almost to the point of being a story about someone whom I did not know. The Illustrations were also very disappointing.
I felt the book, overall, gave an unrealistic picture of a wonderful man, and was, ultimately, not suitable for young readers. I will wait for something better written and illustrated for this age group to come along.

I was in the bookstore and I saw this book. I just have to write a review. As I was flipping through the pages of this book, I realized: how far has the fad that is Barack Obama...
