President Barack Obama is a tremendous role model. He has persevered where others might have given up. He has stayed true to the things he believed in when it might have been easier to say he believed something else. He is living proof that no matter where you come from, courage, intellect and good old fashioned hard work can help you achieve your dreams. In short, his amazing journey from childhood to the White House is one that can inspire children all over America.

In this fabulous biography, National Book Award Finalist Shelia Moses has crafted a wonderful story about a boy, his family, the small victories and difficulties of his early years and the dreams that chased him and that he chased after. From the early childhood divorce of President Obama's parents, to trying to puzzle out what to make of his multiracial heritage, this is the story of a how one man ("with a funny name" as President Obama often says) set out to chase his dreams and ended up making history.
