I just finished a book of Obama called "Barack Obama, United States President" by Roberta Edwards.
Obama loved basketball when he was a kid. His mom was white and his dad was black. But Obama was mixed with his mom and dad. Even though there is some bad words on his school's bathroom door about black people, he did not care. He just thought about doing the right thing.
Obama went to lots of places when he was a kid. He was born in Hawaii and his mom was born in Kansas and his dad was born in Kenya. His dad died from a car accident. And his mom died from cancer.
He used to live in Jakarta, Indonesia when his mom married again. He had a pet monkey and two baby corcodiles and lots of chickens running around. But his mom thought that school wasn't good enough for him so he lived with his grandmother and grandfather in Hawaii.
He had lots of fun with his family but his mom told him about his dad. He kind of understood about him but when his father came to Hawaii his father said "Go to your room and study." But Barack Obama was like "Why do I have to go to my room and listen to that stranger?" Later he figured out that that was his father.
He bacame President in 2009 but his grandmother died two days before the election. And it was very sad for Barack Obama that his mother and father and grandmother and grandfather had died before the election and he could have shared the celebration with them.
He has two girls. Malia is two years older than me and Sasha is the same age as me. The age of Barack Obama and his family and our family is about the same.
This book gets four stars
