About this listen

Barack Obama delivers a tender, beautiful letter to his daughters in this powerful audiobook that's made to be treasured!

In this poignant letter to his daughters, Barack Obama has written a moving tribute to 13 groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation. From the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington, Obama sees the traits of these heroes within his own children, and within all of America’s children.

This beautiful audiobook celebrates the characteristics that unite all Americans, from our nation’s founders to generations to come. It is about the potential within each of us to pursue our dreams and forge our own paths. It is a treasure to cherish with your family forever.

However, I expected it to be more poetic without some many facts just like the napoleon love letters.

I loved this warm and heart-felt children's story from our respected President Obama which weaves historic figures and their accomplishments with a father's awareness of the qualities his children that have within them to inspire and make positive change in the world just as they have inspired him to write this. Although not read by President Obama, the narrator is a terrific T.V actor with a great voice for narration. This short book actually made me misty-eyed. Fully recommended!

A loving tribute

Loved it and the narrator was a very good at telling how he felt about his daughters.

Great

The letter itself is very short, loving, teaching, thoughtful, and inspiring. The description following takes up at least half the listening time. Andre Braugher does a fine job as narrator, but it is too bad Barack couldn’t have read it himself. The letter is beautifully written, full of thoughts and reminders of who we are or ought to be as a nation. I would wish that every American could read and hear his message to his daughters— and to us. (Oh, and the illustration of the girls and Bo is adorable.)

Short, sweet, inspirational

Wish I had grandkids, they each would get a copy on their 4th birthday.

Sweet little book

The idea is awe-inspiring. And the performance was masterfully done. Through his work, Barack recognises the tiny strengths of his daughters and magnifies them through the achievements of great men and women. He also takes us down the history lane to appreciate and thank those who were true to their creativity. It's a piece that anyone should fall for.

Awesome Work
