Who Is Barack Obama? (Who Was?)

Roberta Edwards lives in New York, New York. Ken Call lives in Northbrook, Illinois. --This text refers to the paperback edition. From School Library Journal Grade 2-5–Edwards' clear and concise style is well reflected in this Spanish edition of Barack Obama: United States President (Grosset & Dunlap, 2009). Her research is supported by full-color photographs from well-known press agencies that have documented Obama' remarkable ascent, from his speech on February 23, 2007, in Austin, TX, to his inauguration on January 20, 2009. Call' illustrations depict a traditional village in Kenya where his African father was born; a representation of his white mother, as a child, in a small town in Kansas; a scene with his maternal grandparents in Honolulu; his daily life as a student at Punahou School; and his job as a community activist in Chicago, among others. An attractive and accessible addition.– Freda Mosquera, Broward County Library, Fort Lauderdale, FL Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
