About this book

This biography introduces children ages 6 to 9 to Barack Obama's life, focusing on themes of hope, change, and breaking barriers. Obama was the first African American president of the United States. Before his presidency, he worked as a lawyer and senator, driven by a desire to help others and advocate for the environment, healthcare, and civil rights. The book follows Obama's journey from his childhood in Hawaii to becoming a world leader. It features short chapters and simple language designed for independent reading at this age level. Each section includes vocabulary definitions, discussion questions, and critical thinking prompts that explore the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of his life. A timeline traces his progression from childhood to the presidency. This book is part of The Story Of series, which covers other historical figures including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.
