U.S. president Barack Obama has written a children’s book. It is called "Of Thee I Sing" and is about 13 of President Obama’s American heroes, including baseball great Jackie Robinson and President George Washington. The book has a sub-title: “A Letter to My Daughters”. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the book is "an inspirational book about the country [Obama’s daughters] live in, and about their ability and the ability for children throughout [America] to…dream big and accomplish whatever they want to."
The book is addressed to President Obama’s two daughters Malia and Sasha, but they will not be part of its release on November 16th. The front cover of the book has a painting of the two girls taking their dog Bo for a walk. President Obama does his best to keep his children out of the spotlight. He wants them to grow up normally. It must be worrying for a parent to think that the world’s photographers want to take photos of their children. It’s a good thing President Obama is keeping his girls out of the public eye.
