Celebrating President Barack Obama in Pictures
Lawyer, community leader, senator, father, husband. All these words describe Barack Obama, but none are as historic as these: first African-American president of the United States. From his childhood and student life, including Harvard Law School, to his days as senator and then president, this photo-biography celebrates the events in Barack Obama's life during his journey into history. Young readers will also enjoy some light-hearted photographs of Obama at more casual outings, such as body surfing in Hawaii, and playing golf and basketball.
* Reviews *
Obama Family Photo Album series. Given the small amount of content and the duplication of information among volumes in this series, one book might have been better than four to tell the Obamas' story. The texts provide facts and dates as captions to the many photographs, which include some effective candid shots. There is little linearity, and shifts in verb tense make the narration awkward.
