Description
This is a journey that began in many places.
It began in Kansas, home of Baracks mother.
It began in Africa, home of Baracks father.
It began in Hawaii one moonlit night, the night that Barack was born.
Sometimes it was a lonely journey.
Sometimes it was an enchanted journey.
But throughout this most unusual ride, this boy often wondered:
Who am I
Where do I belong
Jonah Winter and AG Ford re-create the extraordinary story behind the rise of Americas first African-American president, Barack Obama, in this stunning picture book.
