Barack: An Extraordinary Picture Book Biography About the Boy Who Became the 44th President for Kids (Ages 4-8)

A glowing picture book biography of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.

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 the inspirational icon Barack Obama in this stunning picture book.

Jonah Winter is the award-winning author of more than forty nonfiction picture books, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs. Inequality, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book; Lillian’s Right to Vote: A Celebration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, winner of the Jane Addams Children’s Book Award and a Kirkus Prize finalist; and the New York Times bestselling Barack. Mr. Winter divides his time between New York City and a small town in Pennsylvania.
