Amid a happy childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, he also yearned for a better understanding of Black history and culture, and a better sense of his own identity as a Black American. Spurred by conversations around race, injustice, and inequality, he became a community organizer, practiced civil rights law, and was elected to the US Senate. \"Yes we can!\" became a rallying cry for his message of hope and change throughout the 2008 presidential election--which resulted in Barack Obama becoming the first Black president of the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This addition to the highly acclaimed Big Words series celebrates one of the most inspiring American leaders of our time. With evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Tonya Engel, Doreen Rappaport's richly detailed narrative employs rousing quotes from Obama himself and encourages young readers to investigate who they are and who they might one day become. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't miss these other titles in the Big Words series!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEllen Takes Flight: The Life of Astronaut Ellen Ochoa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuth Objects: The Life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelen's Big World: The Life of Helen Keller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbe's Honest Words: The Life of Abraham Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMartin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoreen Rappaport\u003c\/b\u003e's nonfiction and historical fiction books have been acclaimed for their meticulous research and varied literary styles.
