Of Thee I Sing

Obama, B. (2010). Of Thee I Sing. Random House, Inc: New York.

Nonfiction
Biography

Of Thee I Sing is a powerful book written by our current President, Barack Obama. Obama wrote this story as a letter to his two daughters to provide them with a look into the lives of Americans who have made this country what it is today. It includes powerful leaders, such as George Washington, as well as American icons such as Jackie Robinson and Georgia O'Keeffe.

This would be a wonderful book to include in a classroom library or to use in a social studies lesson. It is not only written by a person who has made history in America, but it also gives brief biographies of many important Americans that will be informative to students.
