of Thee I SING by Barack Obama




Above is a Glogster I made about this book.

2011 New York Times Bestseller Children's Picture Book List

Age Range:  Ages 5 to 8

This is a wonderful book.  On the left side of each page, Obama asks his daughters if he's ever told them if they are a certain quality such as creative or smart.  On the right side of each page, someone from history with that quality is described.  The illustrations are beautful and  feature many important people from our past.  Georgia O'Keeffe, Albert Einstein, and Martin Luther King Jr. are just a few of the people found throughout this book.  The ending ties it all together and talks about how America is made up off all kinds of people.
