Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope by Nikki Grimes

5.0

Eloquently told as a story to from a mom to her young African American son, about President Obamas journey from Hawaii to the White House. Beautiful mixed media images with watercolor pencil, photos, ripped paper and fabrics are appropriately combined to tell his multi cultural multi faceted life. Tiny cutout prints continue the mom and son question and answers as Barry Obama turns into president Barack. Hope is personified as a character that talks to Barry and gives him the courage to persevere. A beautiful book in every way writing, art, and history.
