    About this audiobook

    The #1 New York Times bestselling picture-book biography of President Barack Obama.

    Ever since Barack Obama was young, Hope has lived inside him. From the beaches of Hawaii to the streets of Chicago, from the jungles of Indonesia to the plains of Kenya, he has held on to Hope. Even as a boy, Barack knew he wasn’t quite like anybody else, but through his journeys he found the ability to listen to Hope and become what he was meant to be: a bridge to bring people together.

    This is the moving story of our 44th President, told by Nikki Grimes and illustrated by Bryan Collier, both winners of the Coretta Scott King Award. Barack Obama has motivated Americans to believe with him, to believe that every one of us has the power to change ourselves and change our world.

      Barak Obama is a worst criminal in our presidential history who infiltrated Muslim Brotherhood in the US. Telling him a son of promise and child of hope is a joke. Maybe for Muslim; not for the US.
