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.

A good inspiration

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

Outstanding bedtime story for children

Really wish President Obama had recorded it himself. He has a great, reassuring voice. Outside of that, wonderful!

A loving tribute

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!

Awesome Work

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.

A beautiful love letter to all our children

A word perfect expression of love!

My dad has been sick recently and loves to listen to this book - he’s the kind of man who would say these things.

These are the kind of affirmations that all children should hear.

A work of art. The narration is perfect!
