Obama writes children’s picture book
Jocelyn Noveck
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK —He’s the leader
of the free world, and he’s won a
Nobel Peace Prize. But only now,
by one measure, is Barack Obama
finally truly famous:
He’s written a children’s book.
With “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to
My Daughters,’’ a picture book for
readers three and up that hit
bookstores Tuesday (it was
announced in September), the
president joins a long list of
famous folk who’ve penned chil
dren’s books: Madonna, John
Travolta, Katie Couric, Will Smith.
Paul McCartney, Whoopi
Goldberg, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jay
Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin
and John Lithgow.
Even Obama’s current secre
tary of state, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, wrote one when she
was first lady, a book of children’s
letters to White House pets. The

lat( d Kennedy wrote about
as viewed by his dog.
On the other side of the political
spectrum, conservative commen
tator Glenn Beck published a
Christmas picture book last year,
and Lynne Cheney has written
several children’s books.
Obama, who is donating his pro
ceeds to a scholarship fund for
children of disabled and fallen sol
diers, isn’t even the only president
to pen a children’s book. Theodore
Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter
wrote books for young people, and
John F. Kennedy had a young
readers edition of his “Profiles in
Courage.”
Obama actually wrote “Of Thee
I Sing” in 2008, after he was elect
ed but before taking office, pub
lishers said in September.
It is illustrated by Loren Long,
whose many credits include writ
ing and illustrating the children’s
stories “Otis” and “Drummer
Boy."
