Description
This is a journey that began in many places.
It began in Kansas, home of Barack’s mother.
It began in Africa, home of Barack’s father.
It began in Hawaii one moonlit night, the night that Barack was born.
Sometimes it was a lonely journey.
Sometimes it was an enchanted journey.
But throughout this most unusual ride, this boy often wondered:
Who am I?
Where do I belong?
Jonah Winter and AG Ford re-create the extraordinary story behind the rise of America’s first African-American president, Barack Obama, in this stunning picture book.
About the Author
Jonah Winter is a poet and the award-winning author of many picture books for children, including Muhammad Ali, illustrated by FranÇois Roca; Roberto Clemente, illustrated by RaÚl ColÓn; Frida, illustrated by Ana Juan; and Dizzy, illustrated by Sean Qualls, which was praised by School Library Journal: Winter's "lively writing pops with energy and begs to be read aloud." It was seeing and hearing Barack Obama at a historic rally in Birmingham, Alabama, that inspired Winter to write this loving tribute.
Praise for Barack…
“Heartfelt.”
