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 an exceptional man, as 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.

Summary: Hooray for Propaganda!!
Comment: 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 come? All throughout the election, I was bombarded with posters with his face saying "Hope," Barack Obama action figures, etc. All of that was unnecessary and sickening to me. It was supposed to be a presidential election, not a high school popularity contest. That being said, flipping through this book made me sicker than all of that combined. The author of this book must be dumber than the rest. At what point did they decide: "Hey, let's make a propaganda children's book to brainwash children into believing Obama is going to be/is a good president!" Congratulations, Barack Obama, for making the state of this country worse and electing a reverse racist as a Supreme Court Justice. Hail to the Chief!

This biography for children is the ideal book to introduce children to a new era for social awareness. It touches on every aspect of humanity without eliminating anyone by race, creed, religion, disability, or social status. The poor people who inspired a child, turned out to be the very people who influenced him to effect change. BARACK OBAMA: Son of Promise, Child of Hope emphasizes to children the importance of self-determination despite the odds. It plants the necessary seed of preparing today's young minds for tomorrow's leadership. Nikki Grimes has successfully compressed the Grammy award winning: Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Mr. Obama into bite-sized, chewable pieces, which makes BARACK OBAMA: Son of Promise, Child of Hope compatible for educational purposes in the home and school.
This perfect work of literature has fantastic illustrations that help children understand the basic principals of bridging the gap that found many people hurting.

The values of his family near and far, their love in rainbow colors, his faith strong as a rock, and his hope to fulfill dreams are showcased in the most profound ways for any developing child. Reading BARACK OBAMA: Son of Promise, Child of Hope to children becomes even more powerful for adults and children as the words resonate deeply. It is a must have for every American home and especially the homes of our future leaders, the children!

Summary: You have got to be kidding!!!
Comment: 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.
My child will never be allowed to waste his time with this garbage.
It is insane that anyone could waste brain power creating, or reading, such a monstrosity. The Obama cool aid must have been flowing deep.
Son of promise, Child of Hope - AhMen. This just stinks!
