Our President - Barack Obama: The Illustrated Story of Obama's Inspiring Journey to the Presidency

During his historic campaign for the Presidency, Barack Obama motivated millions of people to become a part of his campaign and to participate in the electoral process. His election as the 44th President of the United States not only provided America with a new President, it also provided the world with a closer view into the American electoral process. The events leading up to Election Day on November 4, 2008, from his announcement to run for President through the Democratic primaries, to the general election itself, provide an exciting lesson in American Presidential civics. This book does not dwell on President Obama's biography but rather uses his election as President to educate the young and old alike about the American electoral process and about significant events that led to his historic election. It is beautifully illustrated and written in simple language to make for easy, enjoyable reading. It is a worthy addition to every family library.
